Two European Court of Justice judgements issued in November 2018 relating to the Habitats Directive have to date halted or significantly affected all new residential planning applications within the Solent region and parts of Herefordshire.
These are areas where Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) have been identified at risk of eutrophication due to excessive levels of nutrients, especially nitrate. Consequently all new development in affected areas need to demonstrate they can achieve ‘nutrient neutrality’ – something that may be very difficult to achieve on brownfield residential developments.
We will present the background to the European rulings and Natural England’s stance, how nutrient neutrality can be assessed and then implemented for different land uses and potential future implications for the UK.
