Regulators in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have published a series of temporary regulatory position statements. These statements provide greater flexibility to reflect COVID-19 restrictions.
The statements concern regimes such as environmental permitting, radioactive substances regulation and waste management.
These regulations will prohibit the sale of single-use plastic straws, plastic-stemmed cotton buds and plastic drink stirrers in England.
The regulations will also apply exemptions from the ban.
These regulations will introduce a deposit and return scheme for single-use packaging used to supply soft drinks in Scotland.
To place these products on the market, organisations will be required to register with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency or a Compliance Scheme.
These regulations will enable regulators to apply civil sanctions for breaches of the forthcoming deposit return scheme for single-use soft drinks packaging in Scotland.
Monetary penalties and enforcement undertakings may be applied.
These regulations introduce an additional, temporary class of general permitted development that may be undertaken without a planning application.
Emergency development by local authorities and heath service bodies is authorised until 31 December 2020.
These regulations temporarily authorise additional types of development that may be undertaken in Wales without a planning application. Under these rights, buildings and land may be used for residential or non-residential institutions where this is required to prevent, control, mitigate or otherwise take action in connection with a UK public health emergency. Developments undertaken must cease within 12 months.
