Bristol Friends of the Earth
Bristol Friends of the Earth are
often contacted by individuals who ask advice on planning matters where there
are concerns about the environment. We support BNPN's focus on an effective
Statement of Community Involvement so that a more transparent, accountable planning
system is made accessible to the public, and welcome the notion of involvement
at early stages.
We believe planning (including transport) policy in future must include effective
measures to facilitate tackling the causes of global warming, and we've responded
with this in mind as the overarching concern to Core Strategy consultations
within Bristol City Council and more recently North Somerset County Council.
Bristol FOE believes that planning, land use and transport are related issues
and works with other local groups on campaigns in these areas.
