- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will provide additional support to Dorset Council to help develop local nutrient mitigation schemes.
- Answer
-
In December 2023, the previous government awarded Dorset council £4.63m in Round 1 of the Local Nutrient Mitigation Fund to support the delivery of local nutrient mitigation schemes that would provide mitigation and unblock stalled development.
The present government awarded Poole Harbour a further £100,000 in Nutrient Support Funding in Autumn 2024.
These funds are intended to be used and recycled locally in a way which helps to unlock housing while mitigating the effects of nutrient pollution.
The government has not made an assessment of the potential impact of the scheme on affordability.
