Conclusion
We were disappointed to learn of the Government’s decision to not consult on nutrient and water neutrality guidance despite time being available. This choice was unnecessary and led to serious ramifications. It is indicative of a wider issue: communication on new or evolving environmental regulations is often not provided in a timely way, lacks detail and practical solutions, or is difficult to understand. This inhibits the ability of developers and local planning authorities to respond appropriately, so delaying development.
