The purpose of Strategic Objective 2 Delivering Homes and Communities is to establish the broad level objectives for delivering good quality homes and integrated communities in the city. Transposing the targets set out in the NPF for compact liveable growth into local policy. Strategic Objective 2 sets out the broad level objectives for delivering homes and communities, which are set out in further detail in Chapter 3 while Strategic Objective 9 reinforces the need to protect the existing nature and character of the city. Supports for renewal of historic areas are set out in detail in Chapter 3, in particular under Section 3.45 and Objective 3.4 Compact Growth. Recommendation: No change. The commitment to address climate change is transposed into policy objectives throughout the Draft Plan to tackle transport emissions, carbon footprint and promoting more sustainable land use planning. The 15 minute city focuses on promoting sustainable development within the existing built up footprint, building on compact growth and thus seeks to reduce transport emissions by locating people and services together. The 15 minute city concept and climate action are interlinked in this sense, as the rationale behind the 15 minute city set out in Section 2.24 specifically refers to climate change. Further considerations and response to climate action can be found in Part 3, Chapter 5 Climate Change and Environment. Recommendation: No change.
These submissions set out their vision to address climate action by reducing transport emissions which include promoting the 15 minute city.
