Ministers have announced they will ease divisive development rules on water pollution blamed for low housebuilding rates in rural areas.

Local government secretary Michael Gove today confirmed the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) will amend the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill and ease the requirement that the impact of housing developments on waterways must be ‘nutrient neutral’.

Mr Gove will also make new funding available to boost Natural England’s Nutrient Mitigation Scheme designed to tackle pollution in England’s waterways.

He said: ‘These changes will provide a multibillion pound boost for the UK economy and see us build more than 100,000 new homes.’
