Respondent: Green Party

Representation Summary:

We are pleased to see that the council supports the reduction of carbon emissions, but are disappointed that there is no overall target. Surely this plan should be in line with the agreed national target in the 2008 Climate Change Act of 80% reduction in emissions by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. It is clear that the proposals contained in this local plan are hopelessly inadequate regarding climate change.
