Revealed: The law you've never heard of that stops Britain building - and it's not even British

Sir Keir Starmer has repeatedly declared war on "NIMBYs" and "blockers" who stop ministers from getting on with major infrastructure projects - but there could be something far more stubborn standing in his way.

The article from Sky News discusses a little-known law called the "nutrient neutrality" rule, which has significantly impacted housing development in the UK. Originating from a European Court of Justice ruling in 2018, this regulation requires that new housing developments must not increase nutrient levels in nearby rivers or lakes, aiming to protect water quality. This law, which was retained post-Brexit, has led to a halt in many housing projects because developers must prove their developments will not add to nutrient pollution, a challenge given the existing agricultural runoff issues. The rule has caused a standoff between environmental protection and housing needs, with critics arguing it's an example of EU overreach still affecting UK policy, while environmentalists defend it as crucial for preventing ecological damage. The government is now considering changes to this law to allow more construction, highlighting the tension between development and environmental conservation.
