Biodiversity within the European Union is under threat. Almost a
quarter of Europe's vascular plant species and 155 species of its
native mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians are threatened with
extinction. The Habitats Directive imposes a strict regime for
environmental protection. But with the euro zone economy falling
from 'stagnation' to 'contraction' in the second quarter of 2012
and the UK entering into a 'double dip' recession in April 2012,
European governments face an economic crisis. The English courts
have said that the Directive should not become a property
developer's obstacle course. Yet the tensions between environmental
protection and economic growth are all too readily apparent with
the UK government stating both that we must 'arrest the decline in
habitats and species and the degradation of landscapes' and later
that 'gold plating of EU rules on things like habitats' was putting
'ridiculous costs' on business enterprise. Edited by Gregory Jones
QC, The Habitats Directive: A Developer's Obstacle Course? brings
together a unique combination of leading academics and
practitioners in the field of European environmental and planning
law to address and debate controversial issues arising from the
Habitats Directive in an authoritative and practical manner. A must
for anyone engaged in property development, planning and
environmental law.
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.
Guiding you through each step, Statutory Nuisance takes you from

Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 - Coventry v
Lawrence [2014] - Lorna Grace Peires v Bickerton Aerodromes Ltd
