About this Event
Join Three Arches Land and the National Rivers Consortium for a morning exploring the challenges of Nutrient Neutrality and the potential for private mitigation schemes to deliver phosphorus credits in Herefordshire.
With Nutrient Neutrality affecting development across the River Lugg and River Clun catchments, the event will bring together developers, landowners, planning professionals and environmental specialists to share experiences, hear about reliable, legally robust mitigation approaches, and discuss the barriers to delivery.
What to Expect

- Facilitated round-table discussions exploring barriers around development, land availability, planning and regulation, and commercial viability.

The discussions will help identify the practical challenges facing the industry and where collaboration could make a difference.
