Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy
Representation ID: 22510
Received: 16/03/2020
Respondent: Broadland Green Party
Para 130: Good to have the aspiration but where are the practical measures in the GNLP to actually produce greater water and energy efficiency?
Para 131. “Air pollution levels will be reduced through a combination of better design and location of development, supported by technological changes.” Equally, how will reduction of air pollution be achieved with the massive planned road expansion and destruction of woodland and green areas as a consequence?
The plan's objectives
As general aspirational objectives they are fine except for the objective “to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050”. This objective needs to be much more ambitious given the severity of the situation. Norfolk County Council has adopted a target of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030 for council owned land and buildings and for travel. In addition, they will work towards carbon neutrality for the county, also by 2030.
I attach the feedback from Broadland Green Party members on the GNLP Consultation.
