Richborough broadly supports the proposals in the ‘A Climate Resilient and Net Zero Carbon South Warwickshire chapter’ however, further consideration is required with regards to national policy requirements and viability.

The plan period for the SWLP is 25 years, and over this time national policy will change significantly as will the viability and feasibility of such schemes once new technologies become available and more cost efficient. The SWLP needs to allow room for these potential changes without also placing onerous and unviable restrictions on development that will take place in the shorter term.

I object to the Climate Resilient and Net Zero Carbon section due to contradictions between large-scale development and environmental goals. The proposed 54,500 new homes risk increasing carbon emissions, overwhelming infrastructure, and encroaching on greenbelt land, undermining climate resilience. There is insufficient clarity on how net-zero targets will be realistically achieved alongside major construction. Additionally, the plan lacks evidence of thorough community consultation, raising concerns about whether local views on sustainability have been properly considered. Without addressing these contradictions, the plan risks failing to deliver meaningful climate action.

Asiant : Goldfinch Town Planning Services (West Midlands)

The SWLP does not integrate climate change resilience into its spatial development policies. It is prioritising less sustainable sites in isolated Green Belt areas over more sustainable options near established villages. This contradicts national planning guidance on sustainability. In order to comply with the Revised NPPF the SWLP must consider the sustainable expansion needs of existing rural village settlements. Paragraph 83 provides strong policy support for the Lockley Homes site.

The 'one-size' approach reflects a lack of sufficient in-house technical expertise within the two Councils which places excessive demands on developers, particularly given the current adverse economic circumstances.

Wates Developments broadly support Chapter 7 and recognise the importance of addressing climate change in sustainable development. In promoting land at Coppington Farm, we commit to exceeding current Building Regulations with sustainability enhancements, aiming for a BREEAM “Excellent” rating. Our Sustainability Strategy (Appendix 6) outlines our ambitious targets. Wates Developments believe that Regulation 19 requirements must undergo robust viability testing to avoid compromising development delivery. Policies should be drafted with viability and feasibility considerations. We appreciate the Councils’ awareness of the Government’s Ministerial Statement regarding the need for a robustly-costed rationale for energy efficiency standards and trust this will guide future policy development.

Asiant : Tetlow King Planning

The WMHAPC agrees that tackling issues such as climate change mitigation and adaptation should be prioritised, although rigid climate change and sustainable construction policies that have the potential considerably frustrate the delivery of affordable housing should be avoided.
Draft net zero and carbon policies among others should be carefully considered against Building Regulations and the Future Homes Standard which is being introduced from 2025 to avoid duplication and any potential inconsistencies. With the introduction of Building Regulations Part O, parts of draft Policy Direction 22 overlap with statutory requirements and are therefore unnecessary. Furthermore, Draft Policy H references a water efficiency standard of 110 litres per person per day, in line with Part G2 of the current Building Regulations. While the WMHAPC supports the inclusion of a provision to comply with the most up-to-date building regulations, the policy should be revised to avoid specifying
exact measures. Water efficiency standards are already addressed and enforced through Building
Regulations and repeating these standards in planning policy risks becoming outdated if regulations
change. To maintain flexibility and relevance, the policy should focus on compliance with current regulations without duplicating specific technical requirements.

The ICB strongly supports the integration of greener policies into the Local Plan, recognising the critical role of the planning system in addressing climate change and promoting sustainable development. The ICB is working to the NHS Green Plan and infrastructure contributions need to incorporate the costs of implementing sustainable practices for both existing and new primary care delivery sites in order to ensure infrastructure can mitigate the challenges of climate change while delivering high-quality healthcare.

Given the legal duty placed on local authorities to tackle climate change, opportunities need to be sought to reduce carbon emissions through generation of renewable energy, and provision of facilities for electric vehicles. In designing new buildings – whether domestic or non-domestic - there are opportunities to find ways of incorporating ultra-low energy systems and increase the use of grey water. All new buildings must be designed and built to be Net Zero Carbon in operation. In considering Climate Resilient Design, development should be directed away from areas subject to flooding (current and potential) and run-off of water from farmland.

Taylor Wimpey broadly supports the objectives set out in the Plan to reduce GHG emissions and to ensure development is resilient to the effects of climate change. This notwithstanding, we have concerns about elements of the proposals which do not align with Government guidance and have not yet been adequately evidenced or considered as part of a viability assessment. Further work is required to ensure that the policy requirements set out are feasible. We recommend that the adopted Warwick Net Zero DPD is considered as part of the development of the Plan’s sustainability and climate change policies.

Whilst we support the thrust of this section of the draft Local Plan and the identification of Strategic Objective 6 – Contributing towards Net Zero Carbon targets, we would flag that all policy requirements should accord with national requirements. This is as per the 13th December 2023 Written Ministerial Statement which sets out at paragraph 2.43 that “the Government does not expect plan-makers to set local energy efficiency standards for buildings that go beyond current or planned building regulations” because “the proliferation of multiple, local standards by local authority area can add further costs to building new homes by adding complexities and undermining economies of scale.” The WMS confirmed that “any planning policies that propose local energy efficiency standards for buildings that go beyond current or planned building regulations should be rejected at examination if they do not have a well-reasoned and robustly costed rationale”.

We are supportive of the principle of Chapter 7 to reduce carbon emissions and improve resilience against change. We consider that the allocation of sites that are sustainably located adjacent to an upper tier settlement that provides good accessibility to existing facilities and well-established employment areas, such as this Site in Southam, is the most effective and deliverable way to minimise carbon emission from cars.

The Site also presents an excellent opportunity to deliver a wide array of improvements to pedestrian and cycle connectivity, including the provision of LTN 1/20 compliant facilities on site, and a footway that connects into the existing wider network that will consequently enhance connectivity between the Site and the local amenities (in close proximity of the Site including education provision along Welsh Road West), support sustainable commuting options, and promote opportunities for modal shift.

It is anticipated that sustainable drainage systems will also be incorporated in the design of the Site, which will significantly contribute to the vision under Draft policy K (Multifunctional Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)) to improve water quality, reduce flood risk and provide additional opportunities for amenity spaces.

I appreciate the need for considered, environmentally friendly house building. Having travelled to work past the recent development at Hatton, I am concerned that the lack of apparent green features of the constructions, i.e. no solar panels, limited tree replacement / landscaping was sanctioned by yourselves and this sets a dangerous precedent.
