Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy
Representation ID: 20791
Received: 12/03/2020
Respondent: Norwich Green Party
Updates needed:
1. Government has announced intention of bringing forward deadline to end sale of petrol/diesel cars and vans to 2035. This has implications for clean energy provision and local charging infrastructure.
2. Transforming Cities is likely to secure smaller funds for sustainable travel improvements, with serious implications for developing public transport upon which the Joint Core Strategy was predicated. There are no other sources of funding on the horizon for ensuring that existing and new strategic growth areas will be served by public transport to help encourage modal switch.
3. 'Planning for Future' includes measures to build greener homes.
