Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
Natural Resources Wales first issued advice to planning authorities about applications affecting phosphorus sensitive river Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) in January this year and updated it in May. They will continue to update this advice as new information becomes available on the phosphorus issue. The advice is available on their website at: https://naturalresources.wales/guidance-and-advice/business-sectors/planning-and-development/our-role-in-planning-and-development/advice-to-planning-authorities-for-planning-applications-affecting-phosphorus-sensitive-river-special-areas-of-conservation/?lang=en
