Do you support or object to the preferred option for Sustainable Buildings, particularly in respect of higher targets for the reduction of carbon emissions?

Support the target. The rest of my answer is as per 19a [There isn't enough on energy conservation or on measures that can be applied to older buildings as opposed to new builds.]

Targets are too modest and should be increased

Having more allotments planned from the start will help reduce carbon emissions in the district. Recycling, water conservation and low or non existent way

Be as sustainable and low CO2 as possible.

Sustainable Buildings
The use of BREEAM and other Regulatory required standards such as SAP ratings as part of the Building Regulation process will determine the energy ratings of new building and alteration works. As these standards increase due to European commission rules, planning authorities will have to accept new types of building construction and changes in visual appearance of buildings if zero carbon targets are to be met. Renewables in domestic situations are unlikely to give significant quantities of energy because the technology at present does not exist but authorities could fill that gap by initiating and facilitating larger initiatives such as hydropower from the Leam, ground-source heat pumps and industrial waste heat for district heating schemes. The Parish Council believes that all reasonable options have been identified.
However, the reduction target is far too low. Zero carbon should be the goal. Warwick District should set the highest achievable standard for the reduction in energy consumption based on technologies as they are developed It is far easier to reduce energy consumption in a new dwelling. But the biggest problem is the millions of existing buildings that are no where near any standard and there is no programme of retrofitting the necessary works to improve this. The core strategy is an opportunity to make a positive impact on climate change by identifying the poorest performers in the District and including them in a redevelopment programme of some sort compatible with the housing requirements of the RSS. For that reason, we object to the Preferred Option.

We note that evidence that will inform a Sustainable Buildings policy is still being prepared. The Consortium believes evidence on the viability of on-site renewable energy targets and Code levels is vital. The Consortium looks forward to responding to this policy at the Draft Core Strategy stage.

The Consortium will aim to provide on-site low carbon, decentralised, or renewable energy sources at Europa Way as part of an integrated scheme following consideration of a range of viability tests at the time of development.

Object, until the sub-regional study is complete it is premature to specify whether standards should be higher or lower. The study should recognise the potential difficulty in providiing renewable or low carbon sources/achieving BREEAM rated buildings within a conservation area or within the vicinity of a listed building. Consideration should be given to exceptions being included in future policy where conservation deem such requirements unfeasible or unviable. In such cases, an open book approach should be adopted.

Reduction target is far too low. Zero carbon should be goal. WDC should set highest achievable standard for reduction in energy consumption based on technologies as they are developed. Easier to reduce energy consumption in new dwelling. Biggest problem is millions of existing buildings that are nowhere near any standard and there is no programme of retrofitting necessary works to improve. Core strategy is opportunity to make positive impact on climate change by identifying poorest performers in District and including them in redevelopment programme of some sort compatible with the housing requirements of the RSS.

The Core Strategy should be consistent with the RSS and there may be issues of viability that need to be taken into account on individual sites.
