There is an unacceptable amount of building on Green Belt when Brownfield land is available.
The council does not seem to be capable or interested in stopping developers from committing Wildlife Crimes in their building projects.
There is no information given about other practical lifestyle and policy measures that could be taken by WDC staff to reduce carbon emissions.
1.2.5 Building on Green Belt exacerbates carbon problems by removing vegetaion which absorbs carbon. Mature trees (and less mature, which will now never reach maturity) are cut down for building developments regulary. In Kenilworth just after the A46 roundabout there is a stretch of about 50 meters of mature trees that have recently been obliterated for a new development on Green fields. This was done in nesting season, which is a Wildlife Crime which has no negative impact on those who commit it. These carbon costs, and removal of the means to decrease carbon (vegetation) are not being reflected in your assessment (1.2.7). Further 1.2.7 does not give any information about the remaining 60% of carbon that is not related to buildings. How are we to address these problems if there is not clarity about what the problems are? 1.3.1 states what this DPD is concerning, which is a very small element of the issue stated in the target of net zero.
