Joint meeting Environment/Sustainable Growth Boards
The purpose of this joint meeting of the Environment and Sustainable Growth Boards is to understand how the quality of our rivers and other blue spaces impacts on local nature recovery and housing/infrastructure development, and how local authorities manage these competing demands. Issues to be covered include water quality and pollution, the impact on wildlife and leisure, nutrient neutrality, water neutrality, catchment planning and landscape recovery, and mitigation schemes to reduce pollution and abstraction. Speakers to be invited from Defra, DLUHC, Environment Agency, Natural England, LGA and Stormwater Shepherds.
