Environmental Law

Environmental Law examines the current state of environmental law with particular regard to England and Wales, within the context of both EC and International Environmental Law, and also with reference to wider policy and ethical issues. This edition features a restructured coverage of topics, thus increasing the accessibility of the text. New developments include the introduction of the IPPC regime, the growing impact of human rights issues, new countryside access provisions and considerable changes relating to planning controls.
