Keeping in Touch HiddenThank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire. This is the short version of the questionnaire. It only asks your opinion on the Devon Climate Emergency partnership’s response to the 14 resolutions of the Devon Climate Assembly. To reduce the amount of time the questionnaire takes you, it does not ask your opinion on the partnership’s responses to the more detailed conditions which the Assembly gave for how each of the resolutions should be taken forward. To give your opinion on the partnership’s response to both the resolutions and conditions please use the full length questionnaire . Only questions with a star at the end are required. You do not have to fill out all sections of the questionnaire. To skip a section scroll to the bottom of the page and press the next button. If you answer all questions it takes approximately 15 minutes to fill out this form. You can save your answers part way through if necessary so you can finish the questionnaire later. Hidden1.

Onshore wind in DevonPlease ensure you have read the consultation report prior to answering the following questions. See the report here. In this section we ask your opinion about whether you agree or disagree with the Devon Climate Emergency partnership’s proposed responses to the Devon Climate Assembly’s resolutions and conditions about the role onshore wind should play in Devon’s future energy mix. To skip this section scroll to the bottom of the page and press next. A) Onshore Wind Resolution 1: In principle, we support the development of more onshore wind turbines in Devon.Our Proposed Response: Action E1 in the Energy Supply chapter of the Interim Devon Carbon Plan (IDCP) proposes the development of an energy strategy, including assessments of the accessible renewable energy resource available in Devon. The partnership agrees that onshore wind should be part of Devon’s energy mix. Therefore, the supporting text to action E1 in the IDCP will be updated to state that wind will be included in the assessments. This will identify where wind installations could be built. Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree If you wish, please explain your opinion:J) Onshore Wind Resolution 2: In principle, we support reforming the National Planning Framework to remove the requirement for 'complete' community support from development planning applications for onshore wind turbines.Our Proposed Response: New action proposed, Energy Supply chapter, “Work with government to amend national planning legislation, in particular footnote 54 which requires complete community support, to make it more straightforward for onshore wind developments to get planning consent, especially those that are community owned." Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree If you wish, please explain your opinion: 4. What needs to be done to encourage less car use in Devon? Please ensure you have read the consultation report prior to answering the following questions. See the report here . In this section we ask your opinion about whether you agree or disagree with the Devon Climate Emergency partnership’s proposed responses to the Devon Climate Assembly’s resolutions and conditions about how to encourage less car use in Devon. To skip this section scroll to the bottom of the page and press next.O) Roads and Mobility, Resolution 1: In principle, we support the ambition in the Interim Devon Carbon Plan to reduce traffic emissions across Devon by making car use less attractive, while maintaining mobility.Our Proposed Response: We will introduce a new goal within the Transport chapter of the Devon Carbon Plan: “Traffic emissions are reduced across Devon by providing reliable, regular, affordable and integrated alternatives to private car use in combination with measures to make car use less attractive.” Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree If you wish, please explain your opinion:R) Roads and Mobility Resolution 2: We recognise that there will likely always be a need for private car use in Devon, particularly in rural areas of the county, and support the initiatives included in the Interim Devon Carbon Plan to help minimise the emissions these cause by investing in the infrastructure to support the increased use of electric vehicles.Our Proposed Response: No action required because this resolution is already addressed by the IDCP. Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree If you wish, please explain your opinion:S) Roads and Mobility Resolution 3: In principle, we support taking measures to reduce the road space available to cars and reallocate it to active and public travel modes in Devon.No action required because this resolution is already addressed by the Interim Devon Carbon Plan (IDCP). Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree If you wish, please explain your opinion:Y) Roads and Mobility Resolution 4: We recognise that there is the need to introduce some ‘financial sticks’, like parking charges, congestion charges and parking levies in order to help fund the provision of wider improvements, ‘the carrots’, that will help reduce emissions while maintaining mobility across Devon.Our Proposed Response: No action proposed as not supported by more than 50% of the Devon Climate Assembly. Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree If you wish, please explain your opinion:z) Roads and Mobility Resolution 5: In principle, we support taking measures to reduce space available for parking and introduce parking charges in areas across Devon.Our Proposed Response: Some local authorities in Devon are already reducing the space available for parking to make streetscapes and active travel more attractive. This must continue where appropriate. New action proposed, Transport chapter : "Reduce the space available for parking where appropriate to make streetscapes and active travel more attractive." Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree If you wish, please explain your opinion:Ac) Roads and Mobility Resolution 6: In principle, we support the introduction of workplace parking levies in areas across Devon.Our Proposed Response: Workplace parking levies are not progressed as they did not receive majority support from the Devon Climate Assembly. But we are offering an alternative action, as employers, including anchor institutions, can voluntarily help achieve the social, economic and health benefits from more active and less polluting transport without the need for a workplace parking levy and the perceived negative impacts for employees. New action proposed, Transport chapter: “Employers to be encouraged and supported to make commuting by active, shared and public transport more attractive.” Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree If you wish, please explain your opinion:Ag) Roads and Mobility Resolution 7: In principle, we support introducing congestion charges and low emission zones in areas across Devon.Our Proposed Response: New action proposed, Transport chapter, “Review the potential for the introduction of congestion charges and low emission zones in appropriate areas across Devon on a place-by-place basis, giving consideration to local impacts and likely effectiveness.” Strongly disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree If you wish, please explain your opinion: 5.
