Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes
We asked for your opinions and comments on the potential options to extend the beach netting fishing for sea trout in Yorkshire and the North East.
We received 562 online responses to the consultation. 93% opposed an extension of the current netting season and 7% were in favour.
Having reviewed the evidence and all consultation responses we find it is not appropriate to recommend an extension to the sea trout netting season at this time.
The consultation on the application to accept low level radioactive wastes at the Port Clarence landfill site took place from 20 September 2019 to 31 January 2020. It provided the opportunity for the public, professional bodies and stakeholders, to provide comments on the application.
We have received 2329 responses to the consultation from various stakeholders. There were only 13 responses in support of the application. The responses included various comments and questions which have been summarised in the Summary of consultation responses document which can be found below.
We are currently assessing the application and the consultation responses will be considered as part of this assessment. We expect a decision on the application to be made sometime in 2021 and will run a new consultation at that stage.

You challenged the cost benefit of stopping inspection and maintenance. You suggested we should ‘do minimum’ rather than ‘do nothing’.
You were concerned that stopping maintenance will have an adverse effect downstream and will increase the risk of flooding.
You said it was essential that a statutory management system for the whole of the tidal river from Pulborough to Littlehampton be put in place, and not just sections of the river.
You recommended that implementing ‘do nothing’ be put on hold whilst we reappraise the flood risks associated with SU1.
You said that 12 to 24 months was a reasonable notice period to allow for alternative arrangements to be put in place.
As a result of the feedback from the online consultation:
Whilst stopping our FRM activities in SU1 remains our objective, we are no longer aiming to stop them by the end of 2021.
We will now:
Our current FRM activities are:
