SO3: Addressing climate change
This strategic objective is unsound because it makes no reference to carbon budgets and managing or assessing impact on carbon emissions in relation to the declared climate emergency. It therefore does not meet the criterion of effectiveness as set out in Para 35 of the NPPF. Given the time frame of the minerals plan, and the national goals of carbon neutrality, the strategic objective lacks any meaningful targets in relation to the need to minimise, mitigate and offset emissions or to encourage the use of recycled and alternative materials.
