Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 21546

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Bergh Apton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Because South Norfolk is so widespread, we do not believe that the Climate Change objectives can be met with the building of more than 1200 new houses. Transport is necessary in rural areas and it is not environmentally friendly.
Also, as the plan projects forward to 2038, it is likely that climate change will be having a greater effect by then.
Lord Deben (John Gummer) Chair of Climate Change Committee
“We know we’ve caused global warming, but we can stop making it worse!”
“We know the way to stop it – all we need now is the will”
