Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Draft Waste Local Plan January 2022
Representation ID: 630
Received: 04/04/2022
Respondent: Nottingham Friends of the Earth
Policy SP5 – Climate Change: (As with Strategic Objective 1 the policy makes no reference to greenhouse gas emissions.)
Para 7.47 does say this could include “Minimise greenhouse gas emissions . . .” but this should also be included explicitly in Policy SP5. Any reference to supporting “low carbon energy” should note that incineration of waste typically emits around a tonne of CO2 for every tonne of waste and cannot be considered to be “low carbon”.
