Environmental Groups Criticize Housing Levy Plan For Norfolk Waterways

Environmental groups are criticizing a proposed housing levy in the UK. The government says developers should pay extra money. The goal is to fund waterways projects in Norfolk. However, the groups argue that the plan is not well thought out. They say it may not address the biggest risks to rivers, wetlands, and wildlife. They also question how the money will be decided and spent. For them, protecting the environment needs stronger rules and clearer targets, not just a payment system. The groups are calling for more transparency and better planning before any levy is introduced. They want to ensure that nature is protected while housing is built.
