The A47 Wansford to Sutton Development Consent (Revocation) Order 2026
This statutory instrument formally brings specified sections of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 into effect across England and Wales on 15th February 2024, thereby implementing further provisions of the primary legislation into the criminal and civil justice frameworks.
The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Royal International Air Tattoo, Royal Air Force Fairford) (Revocation) Regulations 2026
These statutory instruments formally revoke the Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Royal International Air Tattoo, Royal Air Force Fairford) Regulations 2026, effective from June 4th, 2026.
The Secretary of State has determined that the flying restriction previously imposed around the Royal Air Force Fairford area for the Royal International Air Tattoo 2026 is no longer required because the air tattoo event is cancelled, allowing airspace use to return to normal operations.
These Regulations, made by the Commissioners for His Majesty's Revenue and Customs under the Finance Act 2026, specify the precise procedural requirements that a lawyer must satisfy when submitting a declaration to HMRC. This declaration confirms that legally privileged communications would substantiate representations made by the lawyer objecting to HMRC publishing information about a tax avoidance scheme involving the lawyer or their client, ensuring such declarations meet specific formatting, content, and timing criteria to remain valid.
The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Coventry Arena) Regulations 2026
These Regulations establish temporary flight restrictions for unmanned aircraft near the Coventry Arena between June 4th and June 6th, 2026, as deemed necessary by the Secretary of State for public safety reasons concerning a large planned gathering; the restrictions prohibit flying below 1,400 feet above mean sea level within a 0.8 nautical mile radius of the Arena during specified hours unless explicit permission is granted by the West Midlands Police Drone Team.
These Regulations, made under the Housing Act 2004, amend the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (England) Regulations 2005 to simplify and clarify the methodology used by local authorities to assess housing hazards and determine if they constitute a Category 1 or Category 2 hazard.
Key changes involve redefining prescribed fire hazards to explicitly cover risks like explosions and structural collapse due to fire, simplifying the hazard seriousness scoring tables, replacing the previous A-J hazard bands with High, Medium, and Low categories, renaming the four classes of harm (I to IV become Extreme to Moderate), and updating the detailed list of specific hazards found in Schedule 1, while providing a transitional rule ensuring the amendments only apply to inspections commenced on or after June 22nd, 2026.
