I broadly support the content of this Preferred Option and I think it's important that there is a specific policy on Climate Change.
I think it is vital that a specific target is mentioned but there is no indication of how or how often progress towards this goal will be measured. The policy should include a commitment to measuring, explaining and publicising progress annually. Developers, whether of housing, business or infrastructure, should have to provide information about carbon emissions and mitigation as part of the planning process and this information should be made public. This should include the predicted emissions from the 'use' of the development until the end of the Plan period.
