Waverley Borough Council is concerned that this project will not contribute to the goal of net zero emssions by 2050 This development, in construction phase and at operational stage, will produce unacceptable levels of direct and indirect carbon emissions This proposal will have a negative impact on the natural environment and protect habitats across a wide area The increase in flights will increase passenger travel to the site by car -increasing emissions and negatively impacting on the enivonment Government's watering down of the route to net zero in September 2023 may mean that assumptions used in techncial assessmsents to support this submission are now incorrect and therefore PINS should ask the applicant to revisit the submission.
