Heather and grass burning in England
Applies to England
Consultation description
We want to know your views on potential amendments to The Heather and Grass etc. Burning (England) Regulations 2021. We are also seeking views on the licence application process under the regulations.
80% of England’s peatlands are degraded, with rotational burning being a contributory factor in upland regions. Protecting peat from further damage is crucial to its restoration and recovery.
