Representation Summary:

Planning should explicitly recognise the "Climate Emergency" and set the highest standards in sustainability and carbon emissions in developments and ensure all new housing developments are "Zero Carbon Homes".

Clearly there is a lot of new housing going into this development. With this increase will come the need for primary and secondary schools.

Given the objectives of wanting to create a community and reduce the level of travelling needed to access services locally (for both cohesion and sustainability reasons), I'm surprised that this need isn't being addressed in the plan.

The planning should also explicitly recognise the "Climate Emergency" and set the highest standards in sustainability and carbon emissions in developments.

Start the planning process for new secondary school (and primary schools) provision.

Ensure all new housing development are "Zero Carbon Homes"
