Stour Environmental Credits (SEC) has entered into a contract with Norfolk Rivers Consortium to provide nutrient mitigation.
This contract is progressing well and permanent credits for phosphorus and nitrogen are now available to purchase.
Applicants may register their interest in purchasing credits from SEC as soon as their planning application is validated.
Credits are only created when:
If a planning application is amended on the same site via a Section 73 application, any allocated credits can be transferred to the new permission without requiring buy-back or reapplication.
To support developers in assessing viability and financial commitments, SEC publishes credit pricing transparently:
SEC works closely with local planning authorities to ensure credits are allocated to developers with a high likelihood of progressing, minimising the need for buy-back. See our Operational Process Flow Diagram [PDF, 72KB] for partnership working procedures.
Credits are allocated to a specific planning application and cannot otherwise be sold onwards or transferred to other schemes.
Credits will expire if the associated scheme is not implemented within the timeframe specified by the planning permission, and any potential buy-back of unused credits is at SEC’s discretion and subject to resale demand.
