As with the other net zero policies for buildings in this consultation, I'm pleased to see reference to LETI and Passivhaus, but this policy direction needs to set out clearly when each standard should be required as if left to the applicant, it will just not happen.
The AECB CarbonLite Retrofit Standard is better for traditional buildings and also considers many more retrofit risks. The STBA Guidance Wheel provides the opportunity to research the interactions between different options of retrofit.
Alternatively, PAS 2035 (for domestic buildings) & Trustmark could be required as it has consumer protection and QA embedded.

I strongly agree with the approach set out. If it is to be implemented rigorously, it will require substantial changes to Council processes and guides, including training of Officers and Councillors, revisions to design guides, SPDs, etc, including for choice of materials and form factor.

This is an unrealistic ambition without finacial support for residents through grants or loans. The risk here is that old building just stay old and inefficient - people will need support if development to an existing building means that the new and existing infrastructure is to be assessed for compliance to new more onerous energy efficiency standards.

Absolutely critical. The existing housing stock needs radical improvement.
Hopefully this will allow Listed buildings and those within Conservation Areas to make improvements such as sensitively designed double or triple glazing

It doesn't state a de minimis level that it would apply to therefor I believe it would or could be onerous. Especially if a property is in a conservation area and therefore its permitted development rights are removed so any minor alteration or addition would require a planning application that might therefor be classified as a 'development proposal'.
I have not researched this aspect but I am concerned that it may be an onerous policy on the applicant.

Quantification is required here - eg a proposal to drop a kerb or install ramps or handrails to a front door require planning permission. It would be onerous to require a retrospective whole building refit for such de minimis proposals.

This is a good policy direction. It contains words like sensitive and appropriate, the meaning of which needs to be clarified: ‘The sensitive retrofitting of energy efficiency measures and the appropriate use of micro-renewables in historic buildings will be expected.’ Some kind of guidance or design code, with examples of existing historic buildings with integrated renewables, would be helpful. Perhaps this is intended to be part of the Design Codes mentioned in Chapter 8?

The use of 'where possible' in the draft policy will need careful consideration and explanation to ensure that it is not watered down too much.
