Transform director Colin Howden said:<\/p>\n

“We welcome much of the content of the City Plan 2030, which represents clear progress on previous development plans. We are pleased to see the target for the city to be \u2018net zero\u2019 by 2030; the acknowledgment of the causes and impacts of climate change; and the commitment to sustainable growth in future. We also welcome the very positive approach to active and public travel.<\/em><\/p>\n

“However, the Plan has some considerable flaws and we object to the inadequate approach to private car access and parking provision, and any expansion of the airport.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
