Abstract

These Regulations amend the Nitrate Pollution Prevention Regulations 2008 so as to provide for revised designations of areas of land in England identified as nitrate vulnerable zones for the purposes of Council Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources. They also concern a refusal of application for a grassland derogation under regulation 13A by the Environment Agency, the calculation of total nitrogen spread for horticultural crop, the equipment which may be used to spread nitrogen fertiliser and the requirements for fertiliser plans relating to both phosphate and nitrate fertilisers in Schedule 4 which must be met by farmers benefiting from a derogation pursuant to regulation 13A.
