Milton Keynes City Council is consulting the public and other stakeholders to seek their views on the preparation of a Carbon and Climate Study, which is one of the evidence base studies that will inform the New City Plan, our next Local Development Plan for Milton Keynes. The Study covers a wide range of different types of development and issues related to climate change. We very much welcome your views on the likely impacts that climate change will create for Milton Keynes, and how you would like to see climate change addressed in the New City Plan. This consultation runs for four weeks, beginning Tuesday 17 October 2023. Responses to the consultation must be received by end of business on Tuesday 14 November 2023. Following consultation, we will consider the comments received and these will inform the findings of the Study, which will then be used to inform the policies and strategy of the New City Plan, as well as service delivery in other areas of the Council. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1697536378/projects/mkcc-climatestudy/46038836-8f26-4434-ac09-900004c0db00.jpg" />

Climate Study Launch

In 2019 Milton Keynes City Council agreed a climate emergency and has since committed to the ambition of Milton Keynes becoming carbon neutral by 2030 and carbon negative by 2050.

We need you to help shape this Study so that it informs the New City Plan. By having your say you can help give us the local knowledge and information we need to set us on the path to becoming carbon neutral and climate resilient, in a way which meets the needs and wants of local people.
