Environmental Industries Association Responds to Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement

Posted on by Alisonadmin

Westminster, London, 26 March 2025 – The Environmental Industries Association (EIA) raises concerns over the reduction in growth which is now projected to grow by 1.0 per cent in 2025, half the 2.0 per cent assumed in October budget but welcomes the Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Spring Statement in keeping the Government within the fiscal rules set by the Chancellor. However, the EIA expresses significant concerns over the proposed cuts to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and subsequently the Environment Agency expected in June as part of the Spending Review, as well as the ongoing impact of the increase in employers' National Insurance contributions.

Growth in the Green Economy

The EIA is encouraged by the Chancellor's commitment to fostering growth, but failed to mention the important contribution that UK environmental services and technology sector. The transition towards sustainable energy systems and environmentally sustainable economic growth is crucial for achieving the UK's climate goals and creating new job opportunities in sectors such as renewable energy, green agriculture, and sustainable forestry. The EIA supports initiatives that drive investment in green technologies and infrastructure, which are essential for a resilient and sustainable future.

EIA raises concerns over DEFRA and Environment Agency cuts

However, the EIA is deeply concerned about the announced cuts to DEFRA and the Environment Agency. These cuts threaten to undermine the progress made in environmental protection and conservation efforts. The reduction in funding could lead to job losses and hinder the ability of these agencies to effectively manage and protect the UK's natural resources.

The EIA urges the government to reconsider these cuts and prioritize funding for environmental protection to ensure the continued health and sustainability of our ecosystems.

Impact of Employers' National Insurance Increase remains a concern for business

The increase in employers' National Insurance contributions in the Autumn Budget from 13.8% to 15.0%, along with the reduction in the contribution threshold, continues to pose a significant challenge for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This increase in operational costs may deter job creation, reduction in investment, leading to salary freezes, and potentially result in redundancies. The EIA calls on the government to provide additional support to businesses to mitigate these impacts and ensure that the environmental economy can continue to grow and thrive.

Proposal for VAT Reduction

To further support business growth and stimulate the green economy, the EIA suggests a reduction in Value Added Tax (VAT) for the Environmental Services and Technology Sector to aid green growth economy. Lowering VAT would reduce the cost of goods and services, encouraging investment and consumption in the environmental services and technology sector. This measure would not only benefit businesses but also promote sustainable practices and help the UK achieve its environmental targets.

Peter Atchison, Chairman of the Environmental Industries Association, stated, "The chief moral obligation of the Government is to build a sustainable economy that is strong enough to lift people out of poverty. Introducing cuts to an already under resourced DEFRA and Environment Agency is a backward step. These cuts will further undermine confidence and regulatory enforcement which helps to drive green growth and supports thousands of jobs in the environmental sector.

Conclusion

The EIA remains committed to working with the government to promote a sustainable and prosperous green economy. We urge the Chancellor to consider the long-term benefits of investing in environmental protection and to take steps to support businesses during this transition. Together, we can build a sustainable and more resilient future for the UK.

EIA Responds to Rachel Reeves’ Speech on Economic Growth and Infrastructure Delivery

Posted on by Alisonadmin

The Environmental Industries Association (EIA) has welcomed the recent announcement by the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves (Oxford, January 29, 2025) on economic growth and the delivery of critical infrastructure. Michael Lunn, CEO of the EIA, expressed both optimism and a word of warning regarding the proposed measures.

"We welcome the announcement and the focus on economic growth," said Michael Lunn. "However, we have significant concerns that the environmental impacts of the schemes announced are not compromised. It is crucial that growth does not come at the expense of protecting our environment. Environmental sustainability and economic growth can and must work together."

The EIA emphasises the importance of integrating clean, innovative, eco-technology embracing sustainable practices and design. The Government must embrace sustainability in the design and delivery of the projects.  "For example investing in clean, sustainable fuels is not only beneficial for the environment but also for the economy," Lunn added. "We must ensure that our growth strategies include measures to reduce the environmental impact of our energy sources and mitigate the impact of such schemes on climate change."

Additionally, the EIA highlights the need to address the noise levels of aircraft on local communities. "The noise pollution from aircraft can have significant adverse effects on the health and well-being of local residents," Lunn stated. "It is imperative that we implement strategies to mitigate these impacts as part of our broader infrastructure development plans."

The EIA remains committed to working with policymakers, businesses, and communities to ensure that economic growth and environmental sustainability go hand in hand. "We believe that with the right policies and investments, the UK can achieve a future where economic prosperity and environmental protection are not mutually exclusive," concluded Lunn.

EIA Highlights Impacts of Revised NPPF and Brownfield First Strategy

Posted on by Alisonadmin

London, 13 December 2024 – Environmental Industries Association Highlights Impacts of Revised NPPF and Brownfield First Strategy

The Environmental Industries Association (EIA) today issued a statement on the significant impacts of the revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the government's Brownfield First strategy. These changes are set to reshape the landscape of urban development and environmental management in the UK.

Responding to the revised document Peter Atchison, PAGeo and Chair of the EIA Remediation of Land and Groundwater working group said “The newly released NPPF offers a good insight into the government’s plans for sustainable development throughout the current parliament. Brownfield is mentioned in 11 sections of the document and as brownfield development is synonymous with sustainability then the governments intent is clear. “Brownfield first” meets many of the goals of the NPPF and EIA members are
pleased to see its inclusion in this important first stage document”.

Sunil Shah, Acclaro Advisory and Chair of the EIA Sustainable Buildings Working Group said “We welcome the proactive approach to both mitigation and adaptation to climate change within the NPPF, particularly with the avoidance of increased vulnerability.
Potential consequences for flood risk and cumulative impacts will be of particular concern. Additional demands for local plans to lay out additional requirements for the sustainability of buildings and supply of renewable energy should be extended to allow
areas to promote high levels of whole life energy and carbon reduction. However, there is uncertainty how the NPPF will help to achieve the new Government targets of 81%reduction by 2035”.

The revised NPPF introduces several key paras aimed at promoting sustainable development while protecting valuable green spaces. One of the most notable changes is the emphasis on the "Brownfield First" strategy, which prioritizes the redevelopment of
previously developed land over greenfield sites. This approach is designed to mitigate urban sprawl and preserve the countryside, aligning with the government's broader environmental goals.

Here’s a summary of the key points related to brownfield land, environmental design, and permitting from the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) December 2024:

Brownfield Land

  • Promotion of Brownfield Land: The NPPF emphasises the importance of making effective use of previously developed or 'brownfield' land. It encourages local planning authorities to prioritise brownfield sites for redevelopment to meet housing and other development needs.
  • Brownfield Registers: Local planning authorities are required to maintain brownfield land registers to identify suitable sites for residential development. This helps streamline the planning process and promotes the reuse of land that has
    been previously developed.
  • Support for Remediation: The framework supports the remediation of despoiled, degraded, derelict, contaminated, or unstable land to bring it back into productive use.

Environmental Design

  • Sustainable Development: The NPPF highlights the need for development to contribute to sustainable development goals, balancing economic, social, and environmental objectives.
  • Design Quality: High-quality design is fundamental, with an emphasis on creating beautiful, sustainable places. Developments should be visually attractive, function well, and add to the overall quality of the area.
  • Green Infrastructure: The integration of green infrastructure is encouraged to enhance biodiversity, support climate change adaptation, and improve the quality of life for residents.
  • Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation: Developments should incorporate measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change, such as energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and sustainable drainage systems.

Permitting

  • Decision-Making: Local planning authorities are encouraged to approach decisions on proposed developments positively and creatively, using tools like brownfield registers and permission in principle to facilitate development.
  • Pre-Application Engagement: Early engagement between developers, local authorities, and communities is promoted to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the planning application process.
  • Environmental Impact Assessments: The NPPF requires that developments likely to have significant environmental effects undergo thorough environmental impact assessments to ensure that potential impacts are fully understood and mitigated.
  • Conditions and Obligations: Planning conditions and obligations should be used to make otherwise unacceptable development acceptable. These should be necessary, relevant, and reasonable. EIA welcomes the retention of para 201
    which confirmed that the planning issues should not be revisited through the permitting regimes operated by pollution control authorities.

These points reflect the NPPF's commitment to promoting sustainable development, making effective use of land, and ensuring high-quality design while protecting and enhancing the natural environment.

Statements from Key Figures:
EIA wrote to Angela Rayner, Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Housing on Brownfield First and concerns over DoWCoP (version 3) and EIA is pleased that the Deputy Prime Minister has been a vocal advocate for the Brownfield First strategy. She emphasised the need to unlock potential housing sites on Brownfield site, stating, "There is lots of brownfield, lots of areas that need to be unlocked for development. Our priority is to build on brownfield sites first".

Matthew Pennycook, Minister of State for Housing and Planning, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the importance of protecting green spaces. "We have been clear that developers should first look to brownfield, or previously developed, land. That is essential to protect our most valuable countryside and agricultural land"

Conclusion:
The Environmental Industries Association supports the revised NPPF and the Brownfield First strategy as crucial steps towards sustainable urban development. By prioritising brownfield sites and streamlining the planning process, these measures promise to balance the need for new housing with the imperative to protect and enhance the environment. EIA will work with the Government to ensure that Brownfield First delivery is maintained and escalate any concerns from our Members.

Environmental Industries Association Commends Munira Wilson MP on PFAS Bill

Posted on by Alisonadmin
PFAS word keywords cloud concept - Dangerous Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl substances used in products and materials due to their enhanced water-resistant properties

London, 4 December 2024 – The Environmental Industries Association (EIA) has expressed its support for the Poly and Perfluorinated Alkyl Substances (Guidance) Bill introduced by Munira Wilson MP (Liberal Democrat) on 5th November 2024. The EIA, representing the majority of UK Environmental laboratories specialising in chemical analysis, applauds the increased parliamentary focus on PFAS.

In a letter to Munira Wilson MP, the EIA highlighted the contributions of its members to the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the CIRIA Guidance on PFAS. The EIA, as the voice of the UK environmental services and technology sector, emphasised the importance of targeted regulations and bans on PFAS to mitigate their presence in human bodies and the environment.

The EIA’s working group on Remediation of Land and Groundwater and Environmental Analysis and Testing reviewed the Bill’s introduction and offered several observations:

  1. Health Impacts: The link between PFAS exposure and health issues such as decreased fertility, thyroid disease, miscarriage, reduced sperm quality, and cancer is still tentative. However, the accumulation of PFAS in the body and their excretion into the environment underscore the need for stringent regulations.
  2. Regulatory Challenges: The EIA noted the complexities of regulating PFAS as a chemical group due to their diverse properties and toxicity levels. A group-based approach, similar to that for petroleum hydrocarbons, could lead to either insufficient protection or overly stringent restrictions, with unintended consequences for public health and environmental safety.
  3. Replacement Issues: The introduction of new PFAS to replace banned ones presents additional challenges. The EIA advocates for better utilisation of the EU & UK REACH process to ensure the safety of new chemicals entering the market.

Grouping PFAS: The EIA critiqued the proposal by Ian Cousens, Tony Fletcher, and others to group PFAS by extreme persistence and ubiquitous presence, noting that not all PFAS are extremely persistent. The EIA supports a more nuanced approach to grouping PFAS to avoid regulatory loopholes.

Dr Ken Scally, Chair of the Environmental Analysis and Testing working group said he welcomed the introduction of the Private Members Bill by Munira Wilson MP representing the Twickenham Constituency. Dr Scally went on to say our members, representing the forefront of chemical analysis expertise in the UK, are committed to supporting evidence-based policy and regulation. We welcome the opportunity to work closely with policymakers to ensure that legislative efforts effectively balance environmental protection, public health, and scientific rigor.

The EIA celebrates the attention Munira Wilson’s Private Members Bill is generating and offers to provide leading national experts to advise on the Bill’s direction. This offer extends to Government Ministers to ensure comprehensive and effective legislation.

Environmental Industries Association Responds to the Chancellor’s Budget

Posted on by Alisonadmin

London, 30 October 2024 –The Environmental Industries Association (EIA) has expressed significant concerns regarding the Labour budget announcement by the Chancellor Rachel Reeves. EIA Chairman Peter Atchison specifically highlighted the budget’s shortcomings in addressing critical environmental issues such as climate change, air quality, brownfield remediation and supporting the wider delivery arm of the UK green industries sector.

Lack of Support for Green Industries

Peter Atchison stated, “While the budget includes some positive steps towards Green Energy, Carbon capture it falls short in providing the necessary support for the SME sector whom deliver the grassroots green growth economy and represent the wider Environmental Services and Technology Sector which contributes over £29 billion in value per annum and expected to deliver 25,000 additional jobs over the next 12 months. That growth is in jeopardy and business leaders and our Members will need to re-evaluate business investment given the increase in employer contributions. The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) clearly shows that the UK has ranked 5th globally, yet this budget does not reflect the urgency of the environmental crisis and the investment which is required to maintain and improve our environmental standing globally.”

Investment in Green Technology

Atchison emphasised the need for substantial investment in green technology. “The budget’s allocation for green technology is insufficient. To achieve our net-zero targets, enhance air quality and foster green jobs and innovation in the economy, we need a robust financial commitment. This budget does not provide the level of investment needed to drive the green technology sector forward.”

Remediation of Contaminated Sites for housing delivery

EIA recognises the housing crisis and supports much of the reforms of the NPPF and specifically Brownfield First, but the Chancellor has missed a trick on the eve of Halloween to extend land remediation relief from 150% to 200% for smaller developers with housing of less than 25 units, but we note that the Government plans a review of Land Remediation Relief next year which EIA will engage with. An extension of the relief  now would have helped to drive housing on brownfield sites (especially smaller sites which are often more complex) and also driven growth across the geo-remediation sector and environmental services sector which in turn would of delivered new homes.

Call for Action

The EIA will continue to engage with the government on these matters and continue to campaign to increase funding for green industries and technologies. “We urge the Chancellor to consider the long-term benefits of investing in our environment. Sustainable growth is not just an option; it is a necessity for our future,” Atchison concluded.
