Planning is difficult. I think it is a key part local authorities play. It relates to the kind of development we have, whether one-off housing, a more sustainable 15-minute city, or reinvigorating our town centres to make them more liveable. Is there somewhere to put targets in place for each local authority to have to adhere to? Do the witnesses recognise the role that plays in reducing emissions?
