Recommendation 141

Developers must offset the pollution caused by their scheme in total and this can be impacted by property size and on-site management methods. 188 For nutrient neutrality the performance of local wastewater treatment works is a key determinant in the amount of mitigation required. 189 Where a local planning authority develops a scheme, such as those described for recreational impact zones, they may choose to charge a flat rate per dwelling regardless of the size of the property.
