Well, I proposed the adoption of it by the Board, subject to a suitable caveat in the preamble about individual & proprietors rights, which is a legitimate concern of some. A lot of people have been working on this for more than 2 years. It's a necessary evil; statutory burdens are hardly going to decrease, & this provides a framework for all involved bodies to work together. Next up is the EU Water Framework Directive! Kristin Scott of SNH, who wrote most of the CMP, is on the Board & a useful member of it too. Believe this is the first CMP to be agreed; other rivers should follow. I doubt actually that it will mean much change; it's really codifying what we do already.
