Why Nutrient Mitigation

The Solent is internationally important for its wildlife, so nutrients in the water must be carefully managed to protect plants, habitats, birds and other animals. Developers are required to mitigate against any increase in nutrient levels caused by new homes.

Our mitigation schemes protect the Solent while allowing urgently needed new homes to be built.

Future Scheme: Land at Romsey

A former farmland site near Romsey is now a nature recovery area, reducing nutrient runoff into the Solent. The project has generated over 1300 verified nutrient credits to support sustainable development in the region.
