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.

To be sound, this policy needs to be re-written to take account of the national zero carbon target of 2050. Although carbon for new builds will be less than under previous standards, the level of emissions under this policy will still increase during the plan period. The default position should be zero carbon.
