Nutrient Neutrality
What is nutrient neutrality and how is it impacting land development?
Excessive nutrient input including phosphates are damaging our water ecosystems. In response, Natural England have instructed local authorities in civic areas not to grant planning permission unless nutrient neutrality is achieved. Our experts share the solutions to progressing your land development project.
