At last! We should have been doing this years ago.
The objectives in 4.2 are good but not sufficient. Carbon use generated by the use of buildings is not proplerly considered. Such as how the site location, density and layout affects travel choices (bus vs cycle vs car vs train). Also, whether the buildings should include provision for cycle storage, e-bike or EV charging facilities. Also, requirements for developments to be designed for optimum bus and cycle access. Also site provision for supporting wildlife or offsetting the loss of habitat.
