Local Plan - Vision and objectives
National Highways is supportive of the aims of the plan to become a greener, more
sustainable, more attractive and prosperous place to live. The plan suggests that
sustainable development and transport, the use of sustainable and renewable energy
technology, green infrastructure and new green spaces will all contribute to reducing
the Borough’s carbon footprint and securing a net-gain in both biodiversity and
environmental quality. In particular, we support the aims of improving accessibility,
through encouraging sustainable travel as well as taking the opportunities offered by
strategic infrastructure for greater regional and national connectivity.
