Latest Consultations - Charges and Fees

Posted on: December 1, 2011

The Environment Agency is asking for comments on proposed changes to its charging schemes from April 2012 to end of March 2015.
The agency is suggesting no change for the majority of charge-payers for two years, with a check at the end of the first year (2013) to ensure this is sustainable.
It is also planning a small number of technical changes and a small increase in charges in year three. The freeze on charges in the first two years does not include abstraction charges.
The EA is proposing to increase these charges each year to ease specific costs pressures.
