BALL & BELL provide comprehensive coverage of British environmental law and discuss the issues emerging in this rapidly developing area in a precise and clear manner. The authors follow a sectorial coverage, emphasizing the effects of the Environmental Act 1995, and of aspects of environmental law such as integrated pollution control and environmental assessment. The reader is left with a strong sense that the British environmental legal system is undergoing a revolutionary modernization of its environmental law and management structures, propelled by the challenge of international and EU environmental law developments. The book does not emphasize the relationship between environmental and economic issues nor does it give comparative information on other countries.
