Respondent: Stevington Parish Council

Section 1.6 refers to the governments ambition for growth up to 1million new high-quality homes by 2050. Given current climate change circumstances such an ambition is clearly unsustainable and although the recent parliamentary debate, makes it clear that 1 million homes is not government policy, there is clearly an intention to develop a significant number of new houses to support economic growth in the region. We believe council needs to limit the scale and nature of growth to levels that are environmentally sustainable and enable Net Zero to be achieved at the fastest possible rate. Communities are relying on the Borough Council to make this a high priority.
