What is Nicholls Water Credits scheme?
This scheme is a fully managed approach that offers turnkey sustainability solutions for water mitigation issues.
Whether you are a landowner or developer, we operate the same system. Our goal is to reduce the impact of any development on the mains water supply. This is in line with local government policy on water neutrality.
What if I am a landowner?
Our team will evaluate your site’s geological and geographical features to determine the most effective solution for reducing your reliance on mains water and generating water credits. We can then manage the design, supply, and installation of the appropriate water-saving system.
These water credits can be sold to developers or individuals interested in building in the SNWRZ (Sussex North Water Resource Zone).
What if I am a developer?
Our approach involves working closely with developers to comprehend their water supply needs, calculate the required water credits, and identify an appropriate landowner to collaborate with for efficient planning.
