In order for the future plan to be found sound the following should be implemented:
• Any future policy should be stepped in line with emerging government targets and requirements and
• Ensure the policy is properly assessed within the forthcoming viability assessment

No. These targets are not challenging enough. The Council should mandate that all new houses are built with at least 5kW of roof top solar panels and at least 7kWh of battery storage in each house. This will reduce electricity grid network balancing problems and is consistent with air/ground source heating and electric cars.

Of course the developers don't want higher standards, hence homes spoiled with condensation and scandals like Grenfell tower. It doesn't save money in the long term, by which time the original builder will have washed his hands of it

I agree with the basic approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction-22- Net Zero Carbon Buildings. However we need to accelerate towards actual Net Zero Carbon faster by including unregulated emissions and embodied carbon. Developers need to undertake post occupancy evaluation to demonstrate compliance with the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard (UKNZCBS). Passivhaus methodology should be employed throughout design and *construction* to eliminate the performance gap.

No. There is no mention of allowing solar panels etc in Conservation Areas or on Grade 1/2 buildings. Net Zero MUST take precedence over local planning restrictions

I welcome the ambition to be Net Zero in use, and the note on strengthening the climate change policies in light of new evidence. However, the proposed standards should be stricter. In particular, solar panels should be a requirement on new properties except in exceptional circumstances. Criterion 7 (green roofs) is less practical for residential properties and it should be made clear that solar PV is ranked above this. The most up to date standards should be referenced with allowance for improvements as standards improve to 2050. Viability assessments must be independent and robust to prevent undermining of criteria.

-Yes. However, the proposed standards should be tightened considerably. Criteria should include: solar panels on all new buildings, carbon monoxide monitors, rainwater harvesting, sustainable urban drainage designed to withstand flooding, no gas supply or log burning stoves, and smart controls for energy management.
-The performance gap must be acknowledged and addressed, perhaps by mandating use of British Standard BS 40101.
-This policy direction can be undermined if developers claim their schemes are not viable. Therefore, any viability assessments must be independent and robust.

In paragraph next steps there is justification for adopting more rigorous targets. Why hasn’t this been done?
Other observations:
1 Part A Criteria 3 offer a specific improvement in airtightness as done in Criteria 1 with the minimum 63% reduction in carbon emissions
1 Part A Criteria 7 refers to non-domestic buildings. Typo??
3 Part B Criteria 1 set the quantifiable reduction based on 2021 Building Regulations rather than leaving it to a developer to show the reduction is equivalent to a specific number against a different set of Regulations?
4 Part B Criteria 2 why has VVT been excluded?

Noting government guidance explained in detail in the consultation, I believe that there are grounds for policy requiring renewables that exceed national building regulations. The rural nature of many parts of the Districts (Stratford in particular) with important landscapes, whether designated or not, would place a priority on locating PV for instance on existing buildings and development in preference to open land (sequential test) in the interest of the wider environment and maximising energy gain. The same arguments would apply to minimising pressure on the distribution grid for EVs and transmission lines by local generation, including micro generation.

The definition of net zero carbon buildings within draft Policy Direction 22 is unclear. A requirement for all new buildings to be designed and built to be Net Zero Carbon in operation is likely to come at the expense of housing delivery on some sites. In order to be sound, any Net Zero policy will need to ensure that it has been viability tested. With regards to Criteria 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of Part A, as per paragraph 164 b) of the Framework, the requirements in Local Plans should be in line with the requirements of Building Regulations.

yes. It is essential that local standards improve on national ones. Shouldn't building orientation apply to residential property and not just non-residential? PV's should be made mandatory for all new development. Heat pumps (either ground source or air source) need to required unless there are overriding technical reasons that they can't be used.
