Lepus Consultancy Report Appendices(Vol2) omits any climate change data thereby equating its impacts across rural and urban development, therefore all analysis is wrong.

The scale of the development proposal is at odds with most of the environmental-related policies within the same document, e.g. S2,S3,S4. It will significantly increase carbon emissions with over 20,000 new houses, plus the extra populations and their cars, especially on greenfield sites.

Planning policies are toothless regarding developers that renege on their infrastructure commitments post development-build. Many of your policies (e.g. 10.5.13) throughout this document mention planning application 'mitigation' which worries me.
