Conservation covenants

We want to know what you think about our plans to introduce legislation for conservation covenants in England. Conservation covenants would allow landowners to set legally binding obligations on their land for themselves and subsequent owners. This will allow landowners to secure environmental benefits for the long term.

In particular, we want to hear what you think about the:

• demand and potential for conservation covenants to secure lasting conservation for the public good
• safeguards
• Law Commission proposals, with our proposed amendments
