\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nI can see no mention as to how these houses will be built, but at a typical 50-80 <\/span>tonnes<\/span> of CO2 per house build using current construction techniques the build alone will generate 12,500 <\/span>tonnes<\/span> of CO2 using approximately 1% of the total remaining budget. This is before disturbed carbon in the soil and road building is accounted for plus additional car usage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0If you consider the total budget is already reduced by commuting \u2013 114k <\/span>tonnes<\/span> of CO2, conversion to electric vehicles \u2013 200k tones, household energy 457k <\/span>tonnes<\/span>, and the Future Chippenham and Local plan reviews which would add another 500k <\/span>tonnes<\/span>\u00a0for build alone depending on construction methods, it remains impossible for Chippenham to meet its <\/span>1.5 degree<\/span> climate goal. We are planning to fail at the start of the most important decade to tackle climate change.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThere is no mention of local electricity generation <\/span>e.g.<\/span> solar panels, constructions techniques to achieve net zero running costs <\/span>e.g.<\/span> Passivhaus. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIt is the first\u00a0responsibility of Wiltshire Council to safeguard the welfare of their citizens, including by taking reasonable\u00a0measures to mitigate substantial threats.\u00a0Climate change is a grave threat to people around the world, <\/span><\/i>jeopardising<\/span><\/i> health, security and prosperity. If Wiltshire council fail to take reasonable and rational measures to safeguard against it, or take actions which increase the threat, they may\u00a0be called to account through the judicial process.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t
