Ipswich Borough Council Local Plan Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document Review - Final Draft
Representation ID: 26525
Received: 02/03/2020
Respondent: Northern Fringe Protection Group
Legally compliant? Not specified
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Sustainable Development needs to reflect the legal requirement to comply with Air Quality targets, as well as considering them elsewhere in the CS for the CS to be sound.
At the Executive meeting 9th July 2019 Ipswich Borough Council Declared a Climate Emergency and will begin working to become carbon neutral by 2030. This commitment will clearly impact on the CS and needs to be referenced here and in relation to other relevant policies e.g. DM1 and DM2 for the CS to be sound. This would be consistent with the Court of Appeal’s ruling on 27/02/20 that the government's Heathrow's expansion decision was unlawful because it did not take climate commitments into account.
Reference air quality targets and climate emergency.
