This is the first draft of a precedent conservation covenant agreement, to be made under section 117 of the Environment Act 2021 (EA 2021). It is subject to ongoing revisions and amendments as more guidance on conservation covenants is issued, and as conservation covenant agreements start being entered into. It provides ‘bare bones’ drafting incorporating the EA 2021 requirements for conservation covenant agreements, alongside drafting notes explaining the scope of covenants, and other potential permutations of the agreement. It should be seen as a starting point for preparing a conservation covenant agreement.
