Dear Environment and Sustainability Committee,

 

I support the campaign for a strong Well-being of Future Generations Bill. I would like to see the Bill strengthened by:

 

• Adding in targets to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases • Including a strong duty on public bodies to aim to achieve sustainable development in everything they do • Adding a clear definition of sustainable development • Properly considering the impact Wales has on people and the environment overseas • Boosting the powers of the Commissioner and making the role accountable to Assembly Members rather than Welsh Ministers

 

despite all the positive talk about sustainability from WG,  planning permission is still a massive challenge for renewable energy schemes, and is really limiting its potential in Wales . It would be great to see this addressed and WG being genuinely and practically supportive of renewable energy in the planning process.

 

Please consider my views as you scrutinise the legislation over the coming weeks.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Gareth Tucker
