Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Draft Waste Local Plan January 2022
Representation ID: 629
Received: 04/04/2022
Respondent: Nottingham Friends of the Earth
Strategic Objective 1 – Acting on climate Change: (This refers to “avoiding damage to air quality, water or soil” but makes no reference to limiting greenhouse gas emissions.)
Representations on the previous round of consultation “suggested greenhouse gas emissions should be explicitly referenced and this objective should be connected with delivering more innovative waste solutions to meet climate change commitments”. Strategic Objective 1 should explicitly aim to minimise greenhouse gas emissions. It is unacceptable for a Climate Change Objective to not mention greenhouse gases!
