Unit 4:  Current Legislation Affecting UK Industry: Land

4.1.2  The Countryside

It is necessary for you to have an understanding and appreciation of the countryside and the environment, although this is not directly related to business/industrial matters and therefore it is suggested that you read around the subject under the following headings:

  • The CAP policy.
  • Agriculture.
  • The Countryside Commission.
  • Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
  • National Parks.
  • Transport.
  • Protection of flora and fauna.
