Representation Summary:

Hastings Environment Network believes the vision for 2026 fails to take into account the potential impact of climate change which is likely to result in severe weather conditions and coastal flooding. It also fails to acknowledge the impact of peak oil and rising oil prices, which is already leading to rising food prices and other economic instability. HEN believes that although the actions to make buildings more sustainable and energy efficient are positive - overall the LDF does very little to address current unsustainable lifestyles, in particular dependency on car use.
