Overall, I support the proposals in the consultation document, bearing in mind that, as I understand it, Leamington Spa is an area of high C02 emissions. There appear to be some potential ‘exemptions' in the consultation document which allow the continuation of fossil fuel uses for developers where alternatives are not considered ‘viable’. I think the Council should be rigorous in allowing any such exemptions; otherwise, developers will continue to use the cheapest energy installations, irrespective of the emissions.

It is pity that these sorts of considerations were apparently not taken into consideration in the housing developments along and south of Europa Way. So far as I can tell from my research, that housing does not meet any future sustainable environmental standards, and, of course, the developments have sadly led to the destruction of many mature trees along Europa Way and surrounding roads.

The Net Zero Development Plan relates specifically to buildings, but it should be coordinated with plans for the reduction of emissions from transport/cars etc.
