Development in itself is unlikely to achieve any reduction in carbon emissions. Objective should be re-written so that permitted development will not add to carbon emissions. To be sound, reference should be made to air quality/pollution and the need for development not to increase poor air quality in existing and potentially new Air Quality Management Areas. Throughout Plan, references made to significant modal shift to achieve sustainability. However, although this has existed for some years, there is no evidence of modal shift. Continued reference to such shift could be seen as disingenuous. Objective needs to provide initiatives/disincentives to developers.
