Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

Representation ID: 3983

Received: 17/12/2008

Respondent: Environment Agency

Representation Summary:

We generally support this approach as it is consistent with the approach that we take in other local authority areas in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. We support the idea of a stepped approach but would ask you to consider revising this in line with central Government objectives as set out in "Building a Greener Future: Towards Zero Carbon Development". The proposed standards are higher than those suggested by Government so you will need to be certain that they are achievable within the time frame.
