Sound? Not specified

IM have reviewed the Net Zero DPD and have presented a number of concerns which without amendment, the draft DPD can only be considered unsound.

These concerns are:
• Unsound viability evidence base which does not meet the requirements of Paragraph 31 of the NPPF.
• Further detail is needed with respect to the offsetting fund proposed to ensure that any funds received by the council will be spent on effective and deliverable carbon offset projects; and
• The need to introduce transitional arrangements given that Policy NZC1 is introducing the full FHS two years before the Governments proposed timetable.
