Why a climate plan? - Embed interactive PdF demo

You must ensure that the EA flood maps are up to date and accurate. The best way to provide green infrastructure is to stop building on green field sites (this is the easy option for developers, but worst option for the environment) and look at the brown field sites first and foremost.

This is a worthy objective - but NOT if it means putting solar panels over green field sites. Please Please encourage farming - and new crops/orchards - solar panels can go on industrial warehousing and roofing, shopping malls etc. Can we please put in place a presumption to protect farmland? Solar panels are NOT the way in cloudy city!! Storage is a problem/ battery technology is not there yet, and they are inefficient.

Objectives 1 and 2 could be combined into a really strong objective that incorporates the necessity to minimise carbon emissions through lifestyle change, switchover to renewables, energy efficiency, reducing resource waste, and design of low carbon systems, including housing and development.

Firstly, you have created too many objectives for the scope and life of the strategy … to make meaningful progress on all 14 points you will need to significantly increase resources involved. The multitude of objectives also makes it less credible for your target audience, ie your residents and local employers, so take a really critical look at what are the key points, focus on them, and deliver on them.

I've been looking forward to reviewing this!
