For the Executive to note the approach being used in order to achieve nitrate neutrality for Fareham Housing schemes.
The report explains how water use efficiency measures will be installed on some existing Fareham Housing properties in order to provide ‘nitrate credits’ which can then be used to offset water use/nitrate generation on Fareham Housing new build projects.
The approach, which has been found acceptable by Natural England, should ensure the nitrate issue does not prevent planning consent from being granted on Fareham Housing new build schemes. Thereby allowing the programme for the provision of new affordable homes to continue.
RESOLVED that the Executive notes the content of the report and the approach to nitrate neutrality for Fareham Housing developments.
