Nutrient neutrality: issues, impacts and solutions

This webinar explored what nutrient neutrality is, what it means in practice, how it can be achieved and examined the issues from the point of view of:
National regulators (eg Natural England) who are concerned about the impact of nutrients on water quality and habitats, and are developing resources to support those involved in the planning and development process.
Local planning authorities who decide planning permission for development.
Water and sewerage companies who need to plan for the management of nutrients at designated sites.
The webinar featured practical approaches to manage nutrients using wetlands and Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) as well as guidance from The Rivers Trust and CIRIA.
