Our Principles
1. We will target our efforts and resources where we can add most value – focusing where our contribution is needed most or will make most difference
2. We will seek to resolve issues through agreement wherever possible – having recourse to our formal powers where we judge it is necessary to deliver the outcome expected
3. We will be evidence driven – seeking a wide range of inputs and expertise to inform our work and to support our decisions and advice
4. We will be open and transparent – keeping people informed about the progress of our work and providing opportunities to input to and influence it
5. We will seek opportunities to work in partnership with others – working closely with all relevant stakeholders to ensure that our collective efforts deliver benefits for environmental protection and enhancement
