Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20793

Received: 12/03/2020

Respondent: Norwich Green Party

Representation Summary:

Major conflicts and tensions in the overall plan purpose between growth in homes, jobs and infrastructure and achieving sustainable development. Eg how will plan contribute to net zero carbon by 2050 or moreover to the County Council's environmental policy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 and at the same time support road investment programmes?
Joint Core Strategy failed to deliver sustainable development - eg transport's share of carbon has increased; the NDR was delivered but not the bus rapid transit system promised; and inadequate numbers of affordable homes were built. GNLP offers more of the same.
