Policy CC1
The policy on Climate Change is in our view inadequate. The policy deals entirely with how developments will individually be designed with climate change in mind. The policy does not seek to influence where development happens. Climate Change needs to be a core element of the plan including a target for reaching Net-Zero in line with the Councils position terms of the Climate Emergency. It also needs to influence which sites are included in the plan and their transport impact in terms of car-dependency.
Such a policy should be at the core of meeting the Climate Challenge in the Borough. It should also be included as a Core Strategic Policies.
