Better planning of works on transport links required to reduce the number of times areas become gridlocked or cut off by lengthy roadworks that are repeated only a week or so later. New roads should have provision for services tunnels to make access to services easier and less costly.

There is no need for development of the greenbelt or arable farmland when food security is essential. Brownfield and existing sites should be the main areas for delivery of any new housing. The current transport services are not adequate or reliable enough to reduce car usage.

All plans for new housing or industry need to include provision of recycling water and use of soler panels on roofs or other structures. To achieve net zero rainwater harvesting and solar generation are easy gains.

For new property it would be ideal to offer incentives or discounts to local people, otherwise new build drive up house prices as we become an extension of London.

Respondent: Mr Colin Harris
Use of solar panels or battery storage on new builds to reduce loading of existing power networks and contribute towards net zero.
Use of solar panels on roofs to help with loading on the current electricity supply network should be stipulated on all new builds, together with charging points for electric vehicles. Individual houses should have one EV point and solar panels that connect to the property. For HMOs, flats , etc. there should be a provision for at least one EV point for every 2 dwellings (each room a dwelling in HMO) with connection to solar and /or battery storage. Where roofing gives poor solar efficiency, batteries could be utilised together with off-peak charging to provide additional peak capacity without stressing the existing supply infrastructure. This would contribute to net zero
