Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation ID: 11403

Received: 17/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Robert Felstead

Representation Summary:

Moving to a low carbon future. It is abundantly clear that Bradford Council are to adhere to para 148 of the NPPF, rather than to be the first to “raise the bar.”

I would prefer to see mandatory delivery of energy efficient carbon-neutral housing, with Bradford Council taking the lead role in this initiative. This initiative has a defined set of outcomes that are easily measured against a simple set of KPI’s. It would also align with the Local Direction at 3.9.8 helping to achieve a net zero carbon district by 2038.

There a number of pros and cons to acting now.
