Net Zero Carbon Development Plan

Representation ID: 72131

Received: 12/09/2021

Respondent: Jenny Bevan

Representation Summary:

'unless the costs or configuration of the development can be demonstrated to make this unviable or impractical.' This should be removed so developers are not allowed a 'get out of jail free' card regarding fossil fuels. Non fossil fuel sources need to be used as widely as possible to make their use viable and practical, otherwise they will remain niche and expensive. Developers must be directed to use them from now onwards.
