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.
