What assessment has the Minister made of the impact of the recently updated rules concerning phosphate pollution on new building developments in Wales?
Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 02/12/2021
Local planning authorities were asked to report to the Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Management Oversight Group on the extent phosphate considerations are affecting town and country planning. The issue is known to be requiring additional work for plan preparation and delaying the determination of planning applications in affected areas. A report has been prepared and is due to be reported to the next meeting on 6 December 2021.
