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.
