The Minister for Climate Change, Julie James MS, has today (23 June 2023) approved Natural Resources Wales' (NRW’s) proposed regulatory charges for 2023-2024, and for NRW to make the necessary arrangements to implement these charges from 1 July 2023 in the following areas:
- Industry regulation
- Site based waste
- Water quality
- Water resources
- Reservoir compliance
- Introduction of species licensing charges
NRW’s regulatory charges are designed to operate on a cost recovery basis to ensure it recovers eligible costs of its permitting and regulatory work, in a fair and appropriate manner.
Informed by NRW’s Strategic Review of Charges (SRoC) Programme, NRW’s intention is to ensure that the costs of, delivering their regulatory approach and the outcomes needed for the Welsh environment and green recovery, are recovered from those they regulate and to avoid subsiding these costs through their Grant in Aid (GiA) or other charge payers.
