Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 22397

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Norwich Green Party

Representation Summary:

Statement contains warm words, but not integrated with other policies eg homes and strategic transport. There are strong inconsistencies between statement, evidence base and policies. The draft GNLP is an approach of 'carry on as before', when we are now in a climate emergency. There are no climate change policies, no targets, no quantification of what may be achieved. GNLP does not demonstrate compliance with legislation. The SA appraisal seems to show that the CC objective will not be met in a lot of cases eg DEFRA target in Clean Air Strategy for 30% transport emissions reduction by 2030. Climate change needs to stand equal with other policies including delivery. Setting a carbon budget which cannot be exceeded is a way forward. Longer submission is attached.
