The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Cramlington, Newcastle) (Emergency) Regulations 2026
The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Cramlington, Newcastle) (Emergency) Regulations 2026 immediately restricts unmanned aircraft from flying below 1,300 feet above sea level over a defined one nautical mile radius area centred near Cramlington, Newcastle, because the Secretary of State has determined an emergency affecting the public interest necessitates this temporary prohibition, with the sole exception being aircraft operating under directions from the Northumbria Police.
The Dangerous Dogs (Exemption Schemes) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Order 2026
This Statutory Instrument amends three existing pieces of legislation concerning exemption schemes for dogs classified as dangerous in England and Wales, primarily by removing mandatory requirements for third-party insurance for exempted dogs, effective July 1st, 2026, while simultaneously introducing a new requirement for the supervision of exempted dogs interacting with children under the age of 12 in non-public settings, effective November 1st, 2026, for certain schemes.
These Statutory Instruments amend existing UK customs legislation concerning safety and security procedures, primarily by modifying the Customs Safety and Security (Penalty) Regulations 2019 and the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447.
The key changes involve introducing the definition of a 'customs representative' for penalty purposes, clarifying liability for entry summary and pre-departure declarations, mandating arrival notifications for vessels and aircraft, and updating obsolete legislative references within the implementing rules.
These Regulations, made by HM Revenue and Customs and the Treasury, introduce several amendments to existing UK customs legislation enacted following the EU exit, primarily concerning bulk Customs declarations, the acceptance of both paper and electronic customs carnets, the calculation of interest on late import duty liabilities, and providing HMRC with powers to require necessary examination or storage functions to be conducted at approved 'off-site facilities'.
The rules come into force on June 30th, 2026, with specific provisions taking effect retrospectively or immediately upon that date.
The Morecambe Offshore Windfarm Generation Assets (Correction) Order 2026
This Order, made under powers in the Planning Act 2008, formally corrects specified errors and omissions discovered in the original Morecambe Offshore Windfarm Generation Assets Order 2025.
The corrections, detailed in a Schedule, primarily involve substitutions, insertions, and omissions to definitions, geographical descriptions, procedural language, and an associated office address, ensuring the primary development consent order accurately reflects the approved plans.
The Cory Decarbonisation Project (Correction) Order 2026
This Statutory Instrument, The Cory Decarbonisation Project (Correction) Order 2026, formally enacts specific textual corrections to the preceding Cory Decarbonisation Project Order 2025, which originally granted development consent under the Planning Act 2008; these technical amendments, necessitated by identified errors relating to interpretation, compulsory acquisition provisions, and schedule details, were made by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero following a formal request from the project applicant.
The Education (Student Support for Postgraduate Provision) (Amendment) Regulations 2026
The Armed Forces Act 2023 updates the legal framework governing the armed forces, primarily focusing on service discipline, the exercise of command powers, and specified amendments to existing armed forces legislation.
It addresses necessary procedural and structural updates to ensure the proper governance and conduct of service personnel both domestically and overseas.
