I broadly agree with Draft Policy Direction 17 but believe stronger commitments are needed to ensure real progress toward a low-carbon economy. Encouraging businesses to adopt renewable energy, improve energy efficiency, and retrofit buildings is positive, but clear targets and incentives are necessary to drive adoption. Large-scale developments must demonstrate net-zero strategies and be located where sustainable transport options exist to reduce emissions. Additionally, Green Belt sites like SG04 should not be used for industrial expansion, as this contradicts sustainability goals. The plan must prioritise brownfield land and existing employment hubs to support genuine low-carbon economic growth.
