5.6 1, 2 & 3 Again we are seeing the use of the word "considering" rather than obliging developers to comply with tthe regulations that are being set in order to get to net zero.
What consultation has been done with environmentally sustainable concious bodies to advise practical measures to inform council staff and developers? Other carbon issues to consider in developments are vegetation destruction, particularly mature trees which absorb carbon, biodiversity loss (often avoidably), cycle routes should be completed before the houses are constructed.

What consultation has been done with environmentally sustainable concious bodies to advise practical measures to inform council staff and developers? There are other carbon issues to consider when developments are under way such as vegetation destruction, particularly mature trees which absorb carbon, the biodiversity loss (often avoidably), the cycle routes which should be completed before the houses are constructed rather than later, such as the situation with the estate on Europa Way where residents cannot even walk safely into town, but must drive.

I can see no direct justification for the particular targets set out in the policy (minimum 63% and 30% reductions). Both seem unambitious. It would be good to include a phrase like "carbon neutral or negative buildings will be prioritised but the minimum..."

For the Warwick Net Zero Carbon DPD to be found sound under the four tests of soundness as defined by the 2021 NPPF (para 35), the DPD must be positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with national policy. The HBF consider that Policies NZC1, NZC2(A – C) and NZC3 are unsound.
