英国政府近日推出环境补偿计划，允许在受保护的诺福克湿地建造15,780座住宅，但批评人士认为相关的生态补偿措施存在严重不足。1
根据该计划，开发商需按每栋£2,675的标准缴纳补偿金，总计£42m。1然而这一费用远低于之前草案中的预期范围——每栋£5,400至£60,500。1批评人士指出，这样的缴费标准根本无法抵消发展所带来的环境损害。法律顾问Alexa Culver表示："开发商支付的费用使污染合法化而非解决问题"。1
环保组织对该方案的实际效果提出了量化的质疑。该开发预计每年将向受保护水道增加7,695kg的氮元素（占污染负荷的83%）和最多435kg的磷元素。1CIEEM首席执行官Sally Hayns指出："这是所有后续环境补偿计划的蓝本，存在真实的担忧"。1相关咨询期限设定为28天。1
The UK government has approved an Environmental Mitigation Plan (EMP) permitting the construction of 15,780 homes in the protected Norfolk Broads wetland, with developers required to pay £2,675 per property in ecological compensation fees, totaling £42 million.1 However, environmental advocates argue the levy falls dramatically short of what is needed to offset the development's impact, with previous estimates suggesting per-property contributions should range from £5,400 to £60,500.1
The scheme has drawn sharp criticism over its failure to adequately address nutrient pollution. The development is projected to add 7,695 kilograms of nitrogen annually to the protected waterways—representing 83 percent of the pollution load—plus up to 435 kilograms of phosphorus each year.1 Legal adviser Alexa Culver characterized the arrangement as allowing developers to "pay to pollute rather than solve the problem,"1 while Sally Hayns, Chief Executive of CIEEM, warned that this plan will serve as a blueprint for all future Environmental Mitigation Plans and represents "a genuine cause for concern."1 The government is currently accepting consultation responses on the proposal for 28 days.1
