Single Environment Organisation for Wales

The Welsh Assembly has announced that the proposed merger of the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), the Forestry Commission Wales and the Environment Agency Wales will go ahead.  The single organisation will open for business on 1 April 2013.  More info.

Is this decision a sign of the future for other parts of the UK?  Will the inevitable turbulence be justified by the introduction of better management of the environment and countryside, and good relations with land managers, or will it result in happy bean counters, but leave a single organisation that is under resourced?
