The objectives of the local plan are not in keeping with the Climate Change Act and CBC's Sustainablity Plan
A05
The objectives of the Local Plan referred to in 4.1.2 are weak objectives and not strong enough to implement the needs of the sixth Carbon budget under 2008 Climate Change Act and CBC's Sustainablity plan. of net zero by 2030. There needs to be a at least a 7% modal shift in transport according to the sixth carbon budget and as well as this the congestion in the area and the recent report by CBC public health on excess weight and the importance of active travel makes the transport ambitions not in keeping with making Central Bedfordshire a great Place to work. The levels of ambition for reducing carbon are very weak.
