My comment is on section 45 as well. The way it reads to me, I understand that one of either options (a), (b), (c) or (d), applies. The language is quite strong in saying the board "shall approve a scheme". I think either option (a), (b), (c) or (d) should be covered by a caveat saying this scheme does not contribute to increasing emissions or does not encourage disproportionate private vehicle use. Something should cover that off. It can be any one of option (a), (b), (c) or (d) but it also needs to have the cover of saying this scheme will not increase transport emissions excessively or whatever the wording might be. That might be something that should be looked at.
