It places emphasis on the protection of habitats for endangered and migratory species and establishes a network of Special Protection Areas (SPAs) including all the most suitable territories for these species. EU 7th Environmental Action Plan The 7th EU Environmental Action Plan (EAP) will provide guidance for European environmental policy until 2020 and also sets out a long-term vision of (2013) where it aims the Union will be in 2050.

The Convention for the Protection on The aim of the Convention is to protect archaeological heritage as a source of European collective memory and as an instrument for historical and scientific the Archaeological Heritage of Europe study.

National Draft National Policy Statement for The government recognises the need for a ‘twin track’ approach to improve the resilience of water supplies. This means further ambitious action to Water Resources (November 2017) reduce the demand for water alongside new water resources. The government wants to make sure that where new large infrastructure is needed, it can be delivered in a timely manner to a high standard. To help achieve this, NPS will streamline the process of gaining planning consents for nationally significant water resource infrastructure projects. The government intends to support infrastructure that: ● Secures long-term resilience to the impacts of drought and climate change as set out in the strategic policy statement (SPS)14 to Ofwat and supports the aims of the government’s national adaptation programme (NAP) on climate change ● Supports both an increase in population and economic growth across England, in line with the aims of the Industrial Strategy ● Supports the achievement of sustainability goals and enhances the environment, in line the Environment Agency’s water industry national environment programme (WINEP) and in a way that will be set out in the government’s 25-year Environment Plan ● Offers best value for customers so that water needs can be met in an affordable way both now and in the future, in line with the strategic objective set out in the SPS.
