Q-C3.1: Do you think we should develop a carbon offsetting approach to new developments where it is demonstrated that it is not possible to achieve net carbon zero requirements on site?
The spatial development strategy must include proactive planning to meet the required volume of tree planting to achieve net-zero carbon. [Redacted text] As a consequence, the response to the call for sites is likely to omit sites for tree planting and other required environmental improvements. Community woodland should be created to benefit local communities across South Warwickshire.
Q-C1.1: Please select the option which is most appropriate for South Warwickshire Option C1.1c: None of these. The policy should be that all new buildings (residential, commercial, agricultural, etc) must incorporate solar panels on their roofs. Productive agricultural land should not be lost to accommodate 'solar farms'.

Carbon offsetting policies will be very important, especially to ensure that they are not abused by developers. There is no definition of offsetting in the glossary and this must be addressed.

Issue C3 Carbon Sequestration Q-C3.1 A carbon off-setting approach to new developments could be supported in principle, if it was demonstrated that it is not possible to achieve net carbon zero requirements on a particular site. Further information is required on this subject and presumably this will be included in subsequent consultations.

Issue C1: Solar and wind power: The MOD has no preferences or requirements with respect to the approach that is taken to identifying and allocating land that is considered suitable for wind and solar energy generation schemes. However, in relation to any policy that may be adopted, the MOD would need to be consulted on any proposed allocations of land or development proposals entailing the erection of wind turbines 11metres or greater in height (to blade tip), or, that have a rotor diameter of 2 metres or more. This will enable the MOD to review any such proposals in relation to the effective operation of defence radars and military low flying training activities. The MOD would also wish to review any proposed allocations of land or development proposals for large scale renewable energy developments, including solar energy development and battery storage infrastructure, on land occupying the MOD statutory explosives safeguarding zones surrounding DM Kineton. The,MOD would wish to be consulted upon any proposals for developments that would have a total height of 50m or more above ground level in relation to the management of military low flying training activities that may be conducted over non-built up areas throughout the UK

43. It would be appropriate for a carbon off-setting approach to be established in South Warwickshire as a whole. There is an advantage to this approach because the opportunity exists to improve biodiversity thereby reinforcing the green and blue infrastructure network which are being considered.

Q-C1.1: The JPC supports the priority being given to climate change and option C1.1b. The JPC in particular supports the monitoring of emissions and the proposals for retrofitting dwellings. There are local concerns about flooding in the area and the risk that more new developments might bring more regular flood damage to the town. Renewal of the Victorian water and drainage system would therefore need to go hand-in-hand with the development of any additional homes and commercial properties Q-C3.1: Too often a false economy and not effectively delivered.

Q-C3.1: MAOL has no objection to a carbon offsetting policy. The Councils will need to provide evidence to support the calculation for a cash in lieu contribution to a carbon offsetting fund to ensure it is fair and reasonable to the type and scale of development proposed. Without it, there is a risk that the Policy will not be found sound.

The Chamber is supportive to the objectives set out in this Chapter. It recognizes and acknowledges that the Plan has a role to play in tacking the climate change. However, it must be emphasized that the introduction of measures and policies must always be fully costed and their impacts on business and commerce be properly understood before measures are adopted. As we have continually emphasized in this submission, small businesses that are the lifeblood of the economy of the new plan area, are not always well equipped to bear the impact and consequences of new policy initiatives. As pointed out elsewhere in this submission, the Chamber is concerned that if policies to move to Zero Carbon are not replicated in surrounding areas then they may create the unintended consequence of encouraging business to relocate to nearby areas where new initiatives have not been introduced.

Compel new developments, whether domestic dwellings or vast logistics warehouses, factories, commercial or agricultural premises, to have solar panels sited upon them and to meet the highest practicable standard for insulation and heating. All free parking should be ended to reduce carbon emissions by private transport, Workplace parking should be taxed. All new build housing should be built to the future "net zero" standard now rather than waiting for the Government to pass the legislation.- reduction of demand should always be considered in a hierarchy before increased provision of supply.

Q-C3:1 - Don’t Know – Entirely depends on the nature of the offsetting scheme. Is this just green washing such as planting trees in the wrong site which will then not be looked after and not flourish or is this an offsetting scheme which actually makes a true beneficial impact?
No answer given
Consideration should be given to communities benefiting in terms of a reduction to their cost of electricity for the time that the development is in place, as should giving the public the opportunity to buy shares in any wind farm and get a return in electricity cost reduction. The rooves of schools, warehouses, public buildings should be equipped with solar panels, and there should be a policy that all new buildings are equipped with appropriate levels of solar panels. Carbon offsetting policies will be very important, especially to ensure that they are not abused by developers. There is no definition of offsetting in the glossary and this must be addressed.
