I wasn't even aware of this one until it came into force today.
My local tip has listed it as "Up to two 50L rubble bags at a frequency of 4 visits per household over a 4 week period"
Honestly, that's pretty fair. If you have a big lot of waste, a skip is still worth it. (a 6-yard is about 70+ rubble sacks worth)
But for smaller projects, this is great. And hopefully should reduce fly-tipping a little.
Edit: Swapped the "oh no, council tax might go up" BBC article for the gov.uk press release. BBC article here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65977938
