Net Zero Carbon Development Plan Document - Regulation 19
Representation ID: 72189

Respondent: Warwick District Labour Party
Clarify policy on unregulated emissions
Extend policy to existing building conversions and developments
Toughen 'as early as possible' and commit all developments/refurbishments of WDC land/property from 2022 to net zero.
Clarify if gas is ruled out in 7.3. If not apply specific conditions to enable future low cost retrofitting
What does the policy aim to deliver in terms of unregulated energy emissions - is that also net zero? This needs to be made clear.
Not just newbuilds - see detailed Comment under 1.3.
Expand 'earlier where possible' to include a firm commitment to apply this net zero policy to all current and future developments/refurbishments of WDC property and land.
Is gas explicitly ruled out as implied by 7.3? If not, some hard conditions need to be stated and applied to avoid significant additional costs for future owners when fitting air source heat pumps:
· No combi boilers
· No microbore pipes
· Need to allow internal space for a hot water cylinder and heat store.
· The cylinder should be equipped with an immerser linked to the PV panels.

WCC fully supports the proposed Plan and all efforts to meet the council’s target of net zero carbon by 2030 and the government target of meeting net zero carbon nationally by 2050.
WCC Ecology, Historic Environment & Landscape have provided feedback stating that it fully supports the WDC Net Zero Carbon DPD and has no further comments to make. WCC is in support of its enactment in the preparation of the Warwickshire ecosystem service market trading protocol.

Respondent: Gladman Developments
Gladman are supportive of the general principle of improving energy efficiency, however we still feel there are a few policy working tweaks as well as additional information required to ensure that the draft DPD is sound. Whilst the Council progress forward with the draft DPD, it will be important that the provision of additional guidance on this topic is forthcoming and that it aligns with the Government’s aspirations, national planning policy and Planning Practice Guidance.

We are glad the council is looking to adopt a document intended to ‘ensure all new developments (as set out on para 5.11) should be net zero carbon in operation.’ (4.1.1)
However, we believe the approach it has taken does not meet the best standards of building performance, and that it will not achieve the aim of ensuring new buildings are net zero carbon in operation.
