The Environment Agency has updated its catchment statistics report on nutrient pollution in protected areas, replacing the previous version with 'Catchment statistics for nutrient pollution in protected areas 2026'. The update includes new nutrient modelling summaries, a corrected table, and revised notes on where Natural England nutrient neutrality advice applies, including Hornsea Mere, Chesil and The Fleet, and part of Waveney.
The Environment Agency has updated guidance on pet cemeteries, setting out where they can be built, how they must be constructed, and the registration process with APHA. The guidance also clarifies planning permission requirements, burial depth and site conditions, and the rules for burying or spreading ash under a regulatory position statement in England and Wales.
The Environment Agency has published guidance on compliance requirements for intensive pig and poultry farming permits, setting out appropriate measures to control pollution risks to air, land and water. The guidance explains how these standards relate to permit conditions, best available techniques, and other regulatory obligations, and applies to both new and existing farms.
