Targets are not stringent enough for a Net Zero future.
They only take effect once a site is selected - but the best design is to avoid emissions by selecting sites that need the least building materials - so solid ground, not subject to flooding, or not clay soils that require deeper foundations and therefore higher embedded carbon.

The policy focuses on reducing embodied carbon in new developments by encouraging the reuse of existing building materials and adopting circular economy principles. This approach aligns with the NPPF, in relation to mitigating climate change through sustainable construction practices.
However, it should be noted that the proposed 'Part Z' amendment, advocating for the inclusion of embodied carbon considerations in Building Regulations, whilst not yet enacted into law, may provide alternative measures. Therefore, the SWLP's policy on embodied carbon should be worded in a way to ensure consistency with emerging Building Regulations amendments to avoid unnecessarily exceeding these.

Targets named are not informed by specific analysis of the Plan area. A local analysis of the ability of different types and scales of development to meet an embody carbon policy should be prepared and subsequently tested through viability. Ultimately, the policy in the Local Plan should be in accordance with the requirements of national policy, Building Regulations, changes expected by the forthcoming Future Homes Standard.

We would recommend that the approach set out in the Warwick Net Zero DPD and supporting SPD is followed, this requires the consideration and reduction of upfront embodied carbon, without setting a specific target at this stage. The application of specific targets needs to be fully considered as part of the Plan evidence base and viability assessment.

Our clients consider the emerging policy approach to be unsound - it is plainly not consistent with national policy as the requirements of the policy are not expressed as a percentage uplift from the TER as now required by the WMS.
The next logical question that follows is whether, in light of the WMS, there is merit in including a policy in the SWLP or instead relying upon Building Regulations. For the reasons set out above, our clients consider that there are good reasons to delete draft Policy DPD22 rather than modify it. The SWLP can then focus on ensuring development is directed towards sustainable locations (a matter covered in more detail elsewhere in our representations) and leave the Building Regulations regime to control the detailed standards for building fabric and energy generation. Such an approach would be entirely consistent with the Government’s expectation for the plan-making process.
