I have green netting about 1 cm square holes to protect fruit from
birds, however will this stop insects pollenating?

It depends on what you are growing! There are some plants which are
pollinated by large moths (and even bats, in the tropics), but I can't
think of any that bear fruit in the UK. 1" might stop hawkmoths, but
won't stop much else.
