MICHAEL Gove is set to tear up environmental regulations protecting English rivers in the name of boosting housebuilding.
The Levelling Up Secretary will announce changes to water pollution rules in a speech on Tuesday, despite howls of anger from environmentalists alreadyBut the move will be welcomed by the construction sector which blames the rules around nutrient neutrality for slowing down housebuilding.
Gove will announce the changes alongside Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey, who will unveil a fund worth hundreds of millions of pounds aimed at mitigating the environmental costs of the changes. “Instead of allowing housebuilders to cut corners, the Sunak administration should make sure we have the right infrastructure to handle our sewage so we can build new homes without sacrificing our rivers’ health.
Under legislation derived from the EU, Natural England currently issues guidance to 62 local authority areas requiring new developments to be nutrient neutral in their area, meaning developers must demonstrate and fund mitigation to win planning approval in certain areas.
