National Planning Policy MUST include the Climate Emergency

Change the criteria in Planning Policy to allow and require planning officers to consider the effects on the climate and ecology when looking at planning applications

Why is this important?

Currenctly the Climate Crisis is specifically EXCLUDED from National Planning Policy. This means that a planning application e,g, an airport expansion, cannot be refused on the basis of its effects on greenhouse gas emissions etc..
Any current refusal on climate grounds can be appealed and waved through.
