No post Brexit relief - sorry:
Better alignment needs to ensure that regulations and regulators are
fully joined up across agriculture, water and air quality and that this is fully reflected
in future agricultural payments based on the provision of ‘public goods’. For such a
joined-up approach to work effectively after the UK leaves the EU, it is imperative that
an independent overarching body can oversee these overlapping areas and enforce
compliance.

I make you right on that. I do deployments for a contractor on the island, and they are getting harder and harder to get issued.
And 99% of the blame can be laid at the door of dipstick dairy farmers who think slurry is good for water courses,even being caught red handed pumping it into watercourses.
Maybe dairy farms should be singled out for ‘special treatment’.
