We agree that development should be sustainable and mitigate climate impacts. However, we have strong concerns that the level of employment growth forecasted and the supply of homes proposed is not high enough and not best located. If not planned for, this will cause high levels of in-commuting to the area contributing to congestion, poor air quality, adverse climate impacts, poor housing choice and affordability and rising business costs. Instead, there needs to be a more resilient housing delivery strategy with further allocations and a greater mix of sites – small, medium and (lower risk) large, added to the strategy
