Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 5332

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Jetinder Dhaliwal

Representation Summary:

Lots of councils declared a climate emergency, but it still seems "ok" to allow big infrastructure projects which don't want to talk about their impact to the climate e.g volume of concrete requierd (equates to much more CO2 generation).

Being carbon neutral in a steady state is good, but a lot of the damage is done with these other projects that outweigh their benefits for a lifetime or two at least (if ever!).
