Representation ID: 4412

Respondent: None

Representation Summary:

This is absolutely infuriating: you cannot continue to develop - let alone develop at an accelerated pace - all over the countryside and not contribute to climate change.

No amount of "mitigation" will compensate for the development of the Oxford Cambridge Arc, all the associated infrastructure and 1M new houses. You cannot square your development policies with your environmental policies. You need to wake up to the current reality and start again.
