Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031

Representation ID: 8519

Received: 19/05/2021

Respondent: Green Party

Representation Summary:

I propose that a further statement be added:

* Respond to the climate crisis and deliver future economic growth in a far more resource-efficient fashion than previously.

Hertfordshire LEP “Hertfordshire Local Industrial Strategy” Draft September 2019, page 20 - “Strategic Themes for Hertfordshire”. Due to be finalised in 2020, delayed due to the pandemic? Not a reason for ignoring this vital topic.

There is a growing recognition of the importance of responding effectively to the climate crisis. It is worthwhile ensuring that this is included on an equal footing with other important statements.
