Posted: 28 September, 2022. Written by Emma

REAL have been liaising with NRW and been made aware of the following:

The Welsh Government have introduced The Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021 to reduce losses of pollutants from agriculture to the environment by setting rules for certain farming practices.

The application of organic manures will be directly affected by some requirements within the regulations. In addition, it is likely that the restrictions within the regulations may limit land bank availability. The requirements in the regulations will apply across all the agricultural land in Wales.

More information is available in the letter attached.
