A new levy(征税；征收) on developers to allow almost 16,000 homes to be built in the environmentally protected Norfolk Broads(诺福克湖区，英国著名湿地保护区) has been cut by tens of thousands of pounds per house, the Guardian can reveal(《卫报》可以披露).

Ministers say the government’s environmental delivery plans (EDPs)(环境交付计划，英国政府新政策工具) were created to unblock(扫清障碍；解除阻塞) housing growth across the country and are a “win-win(双赢)” for development and nature.
部长们表示，政府的环境交付计划（EDP）旨在扫清全国住房增长障碍，是发展与自然的‘双赢’。
They allow environmental damage to protected habitats and species to be overlooked as long as developers pay into a nature restoration fund, which is used for conservation actions at a later date designed to address the impacts.(它们允许对受保护栖息地和物种的环境损害被忽视，只要开发商向自然恢复基金缴费，该基金用于日后旨在应对这些影响的保护行动。) Once the first instalment(分期付款的一期) of the fee is paid, work can start immediately.
