Many will see the outcome of this investigation as an important first test of the effectiveness of the OEP’s role and remit.

Last week the OEP published its first Strategy (including its enforcement policy at Annex A). It also published its first corporate plan. Both can be found here: theoep.org.uk/news/oep-publi…
The Corporate Plan sets out where the OEP’s focus will be over the coming year. This includes scrutiny of plans and measures: to reduce nutrient and ammonia pollution in the aquatic environment and to improve soil health.
