Please can you indicate since 2015 what Climate Change related, and Biodiversity related legislation in force in England, that Devon County Council has signed up to?
In your answer please will you outline the specific obligations including any localised targets and minimum budget obligations, and any other relevant duties, which Devon County Council has signed up to, and any relevant duties stemming from that legislation which Devon County Council relies on the district councils to achieve.
None. The UK Government prepares legislation for England, some of which will require local authorities to undertake new duties. Local authorities, including Devon County Council, do not ‘sign up’ to legislation.
