On the edge of Buckingham in southern England, the quiet and leafy village of Maids Moreton, dotted with thatched cottages, is at the heart of a dilemma. There is a plan - already granted permission - to add 153 new homes to the existing community of 350 houses, a medieval church and a pub. But the local sewage works has been over capacity for years, and there is no sign of it being upgraded soon. A choice is looming over what to do if the planned new homes are built.

More than 140 million litres of waste were pumped into Windermere between 2021 and 2023 at times when it was not permitted, our analysis shows, and United Utilities failed to report most of it. It means the company's illegal dumping of sewage into the lake went on for far longer, and was far more extensive, than was previously known.
