Net Zero Carbon Development Plan Document - Regulation 19

Representation ID: 72169

Received: 08/05/2022

Respondent: BLAST (Bringing Leamington Allotment Societies Together)

Representation Summary:

What independent environmental sustainability bodies are monitoring the efficacy of proposals? I am concerned that the council does not have a realistic approach or the skills necessary to assess and implement the changes necessary. We are all stakeholders and transparency is crucial.

Net Zero Carbon Development Plan Document - Regulation 19

Representation ID: 72195

Received: 08/06/2022

Respondent: Warwick District Labour Party

Representation Summary:

The potential 'feasibility' or 'viability' loophole should be removed or at least drastically redrafted to reflect NPPF policy and guidelines (para 2 of draft policy). These clearly indicate that lack of profitability on a scheme will primarily require adjustment to land purchase value not to the delivery of key Plan policies - of which this DPD will be a top priority for the foreseeable future. And that any issues of viability must be raised at or before a planning application is submitted.

Is gas ruled out by 7.3? Can it be made less ambiguous (see fuller comment in 4.1)
