Strategic objective 2: No mention of climate Change in terms of mitigation and adaptation. No mention of real net zero carbon, reducing the costs of energy bills and improving the health of occupants.

Strategic Objective 6: This is simply not true as the policies in this document will result in a net increase in carbon emissions. Emissions will result from regulated energy, unregulated energy (not yet taken account of) and embodied energy. Within the documents there is very little in terms of ensuring that new development does not cause a net increase in carbon emissions. In addition little is done to take positive action to achieve net zero.

Strategic objective 7: Within the current WDC plan there has been no attempt to promote a high standard of design in new developments. Within Warwick District we have ended up with boring ‘everywhere/anywhere housing’ promoted by developers who in the main employ architectural technicians and not architects. Where in the document is it apparent that the plan will indeed produce high standards of design, climate resilient, locally distinctive housing. What we do not want (I would argue) is housing that respects the poor and boring local character that has been built in the past few years.

Strategic Objective 10: I agree with the paragraph but would challenge in saying that these sentiments in terms of the occupants of buildings are not reflected in Section 7 of the document. The Passivhaus standard is the only standard that successfully deals with the health of occupants in terms of indoor air quality, comfort and acoustics.
