Details

In May 2024 the Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) produced a report to look at:

• whether river basin management plans to improve England’s water bodies will meet the ‘environmental objectives’ under the water framework directive (WFD) regulations
• the effectiveness of the regulations, their implementation and how they interact with other laws and policies

An initial response in July advised Parliament that the response would be delayed due to the General Election. The government response was published in September 2024.
