The Growth Dilemma:- Sustainable Development and Climate Change.
On the 28th April 2010, WAG hosted a conference for people involved on Local Service Boards and Community Plan Leadership Partnerships to discuss the potential for Sustainable Development to provide an integrated and overarching framework for public policy. The conference was planned around two workshops run in parallel, one on Sustainable Development and another on Climate Change. At the last minute this structure was scrapped, without explanation, but it does raise questions about these 2 areas of public policy and how they relate to each other. Some thoughts are provided in this document by C Mason, DipTP, M Litt, MSc., Chairman of The Environmental Network for Pembrokeshire, and Member of the Pembrokeshire CPLP Environment Sub-group.

PEMBROKESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL CONSIDERS RENEWABLE ENERGY OPTIONS.
PCC Chief Officer and Member are currently discussing a policy paper, which considers a range of high impact renewable energy options that the County Council might adopt in the future.
This is good news for the environment and an important step to achieving a Sustainable County : TENP’s key aim.
The ‘driver’ for the County Councils discussions is the UK’s Carbon Reduction Commitment, which comes into effect in 2010. This will require all large energy users to reduce their C02 emissions. Failure to do so will lead to financial penalties (the approach is similar to the land fill tax levy for waste). For more information go to: www.lga.gov.uk/lga/publications/publication-display.do?id=1933844.
While TENP is often constructively critical of the County Council’s failure to adopt Sustainable Development principles in its policies and practices we are also keen to promote ‘good news’.
PCC has already approved the turning off of street lights, from midnight to 5am, as a way of saving energy and money.
The new Portfield Special School has received a ‘A’ rating for energy efficiency, one of the first in Wales. We are assured that all new buildings, at the ‘drawing board stage, being considered by PCC are ‘A’ rated designs.
Clearly funding for capital investment is a major concern for all public bodies but energy saving is good for the environment and the public purse.
The UK’s Energy White papers, (published on the 15th July) provides more details on ‘Feed In Tariffs (Clean Energy Cash Back) which are expected to provide a major boost to investment in renewable energy with the potential, if grasped, to reduce C02, and create jobs locally.
TENP responses to the two recent LDP consultations are shown below. The first one is the National Park Authority response by TENP can be read here . The second one is the Pembrokeshire County Council scheme response by TENP and can be read here .
It should be noted that a number of TENP members and other interested groups and individuals have made individual submissions and that TENP can pass the details of those responses to anyone wishing to see them, just contact Marc Mordey please.
It has been brought to our attention that it is possible show where all the recycled waste goes and Somerset is leading the way. See attached details.
