Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Highly material is the decision/ judgement released from The Supreme Court on Climate Change and development- (Heathrow)1. This needs referencing and being taken into account within Local Plans as it is a fundamental game changer with respect to Local Plans, Strategic Planning and Local Development Control and Planning Committee decision making. This new case law could make Local Plans, where Paris Agreement on climate change, (concluded in December 2015 and ratified by the United Kingdom in November 2016) isn’t adequately taken into account or doesn’t demonstrate conformity to within Strategic Environmental Assessment challengeable and potentially unlawful. Extract from judgement included.

Change suggested by respondent:

New case law of the Heathrow Supreme Court Decision needs to be taken into account.
