The kind of amenity provided should be subject to climate and biodiversity evaluation, and to the number of people catered for. Seeking space for urban community farming, e.g. for rooftop farming in town centres, as is happening in some European cities (e.g. Paris) would be a great way of building community.

No answer given

As mentioned elsewhere in our responses, Councils need to recognise that road-building is not a solution for mobility issues in an age of climate breakdown. Even if all vehicles are electrified, we need to get vehicles off the road, not just because our carbon budgets cannot allow for such a scale of production, but also simply because our towns and countryside cannot cope with the ever-increasing space given over to roads and cars. But the more space we provide for cars, the easier people find it to drive, and so the more they drive (and the less they use public transport), according to the logic of induced travel. The Councils need to include a policy on rail connectivity, and the reopening of old railway lines.
