On 29 August 2023 the government announced that it would be removing housing development from nutrient neutrality requirements. This was further referenced in a written ministerial statement on 4 September 2023.
This release sets out DLUHC’s estimate of the number of homes that would otherwise have been subject to nutrient neutrality requirements resulting from The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.
The estimate is based on past levels of housebuilding in nutrient neutrality catchment areas in England.
