Original Note:
The existing policy does not stop new homes being built but instead offsets pollution with a payment that the housebuilder, not householder (who is the real polluter) pays. This money is then used to clean pollution elsewhere in the water catchment area. https://naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2022/11/25/new-scheme-to-protect-our-waterways-from-pollution-and-enable-home-building-set-to-launch/
