Energy: a number of City Council car parks have electrical load restrictions which limit the provision of additional chargers for electric vehicles especially rapid chargers. UK Power Networks might require grid improvements for the city centre area to enable new chargers to be connected to the network.

Green Infrastructure: Policy 1 Infrastructure refers to green infrastructure. We would like to see a step change in the provision of green infrastructure. The latter should be in addition to and not a replacement for the ongoing loss of informal green spaces such as sports grounds and playing fields to housing and other development. Green infrastructure relating to active travel has in several instances involved the removal of greenery to the detriment of urban heating and biodiversity; for example grass verges have been removed in order to widen shared pedestrian/cycle paths. All green infrastructure should involve the enhancement or new addition of green soft landscaping
