Environmental principles - from the polluter pays and precautionary
principles to the principles of integration and sustainability -
proliferate in domestic and international legal and policy
discourse, reflecting key goals of environmental protection and
sustainable development on which there is apparent political
consensus. Environmental principles also have a high profile in
environmental law, beyond their popularity as policy and political
concepts, as ideas that might unify the subject and provide it with
conceptual foundations or boost its delivery of environmental
outcomes. However, environmental principles are elusive legal
concepts. This book deepens the legal understanding of
environmental principles in light of recent legal developments. It
analyses the increasing legal effects of environmental principles
in different jurisdictions and demonstrates how they are shaping
and revealing innovative and evolving bodies of environmental law.
This analysis is a step forward in understanding a key feature of
modern environmental law and presents a robust methodology for
dealing with novel legal concepts in the subject. It also makes a
contribution to environmental policy debates and discussions
internationally that rely heavily on environmental principles,
including their supposed legal effects.
The Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive (Directive
2001/42/EC) (SEA Directive) has been a lurking legal presence in EU
and UK environmental law. Now, just over a decade since its
implementation, the impacts of the SEA Directive are beginning to
be felt throughout the UK, and more broadly throughout the European
Union as a whole. These developments have been driven both by the
expansive interpretation of the Directive's scope by the Court of
Justice of the European Union and by a slow learning process about
how this new type of regulation should be legally interpreted and
applied. This edited collection is the first volume to reflect
comprehensively on the emerging legal identity of SEA in the EU and
UK. With contributions addressing the impact of the SEA Directive
on the fields of town and country planning and European
environmental law, the book is a comprehensive analysis of all
aspects of the Directive, from its history and scope, to its impact
on governmental policy and its implications in practice. The volume
both reflects on key cases such as Case C-567/10
Inter-Environnement Bruxelles and HS2, and looks forward, as it
considers and projects future legal implications of the SEA
Directive. Written by a blend of distinguished academics and
leading practitioners, it provides an in-depth critique and rounded
appreciation of both the immediate practical effects of SEA and its
wider impact on European and UK environmental law.
