Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
To give one example where we know this already works, 95% of the 16,000 new homes around the Solent delayed by nutrient neutrality rules have now been given the go ahead; they are being built due to a local strategic mitigation scheme. This meant that we did not get the pollution in the Solent catchment, and it was a win for buildings and for nature. It does work; we just have to take the things that work and build on them, not keep trying to unpick the systems that we have already and make it even more complicated for developers. It is not insurmountable. This is why I have put forward Amendment 130.
