Dear Hannah Jewell
 
 
Thank you for your correspondence which was received on 17th January 2023
requesting the following information:
Please treat this as a Freedom of Information/Environmental Information
Regulations request.

I would like information about your council's planning in relation to
climate action for the Council Climate Action Scorecards. This information
is most likely to be held by a planning officer or similar.

In particular, please supply me with information relating to the following
questions:

a. Has the Council approved any new*1 or expanded*2 roads or road
junctions in its area from 1st January 2019 until 1st January 2023? Please
list which ones were accepted.

*1 The intention of this question is to understand overall increases in
road capacity, rather than recent housing developments. Please exclude
minor roads built exclusively to connect new housing to the pre-existing
road network.

*2 An expanded road or road junction is one that has increased capacity
for motor vehicle traffic, not counting bus lanes, cycle infrastructure,
or pedestrian infrastructure. Please include roads and junctions where new
lanes have been added.

b. Has the Council approved any planning applications for fossil fuel
extraction projects proposed in its area since 1st January 2019 until 1st
January 2023? Please list which ones were accepted, including where
relevant fossil fuel projects that were later 'called in' by central
government.

By fossil fuel extraction projects we mean: any oil wells and fields (on
or offshore), coal mines, fracking and shale gas, gas, natural (including
liquified) gas (on or off shore) plants, and unabated fossil fuel
generation and power plants well as related infrastructure such as
pipelines and terminals for the fossil fuels. 
 
Your request for information is being considered under the Environmental
Information Regulations 2004. We will respond to your request as quickly
as possible, and by close of 14th February 2023 at the latest.
 
Yours sincerely,
