Respondent: Breckland District Council
Breckland District Council recognises the importance of having sufficient minerals and waste provisions within the county to support growth and broadly supports Norfolk’s Minerals and Waste Local Plan.
It has the following comments:
1. Nutrient Neutrality
In March 2022, Norfolk LPAs were alerted to the issue of the “unfavourable condition” of the River Wensum and Broads SAC leading to a requirement to mitigate nutrient pollution from development, farming and to upgrade wastewater treatment works. Nitrogen and Phosphorus affects both water and air quality and Breckland District Council considers that the location of waste facilities particularly from agricultural waste and composting and its impact on the River Wensum and Broads SAC should be carefully considered.
