New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; Inside the Chard built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
