We wouldnt need all these extra frigging houses if the EUSSR played the whiteman.
Government to rip up EU environmental laws to build ‘100,000 homes’ – sparking river pollution fears.
The Government will rip up legacy EU anti-pollution laws to kick start the building of over 100,000 homes, Michael Gove has announced.
The Levelling Up Secretary has claimed that cutting “red tape” on nutrient neutrality, which ensures developments do not pollute the environment with excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, will unlock thousands of planned houses.

These nutrients feed algae and starve the rivers of oxygen, affecting local wildlife populations.
Since 2017, rules to offset excess nutrients have impacted housing developments, but have not applied to farms which produce similar nutrient pollution via slurry runoff.
But environmental groups are warning that the move risks adding to the pollution of the UK’s waterways.
