Respondent: William Davis Ltd

Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
The requirement of Policy P9 3i and 3ii constrain development. Requiring a 30% reduction in carbon reduction would be in conflict with the Government’s adopted Building Regulations.
A fabric first approach’ to ensuring energy efficiency and sustainability as an alternative should be promoted.
Policy P9 3vi lacks the clarity that is required by Paragraph 16d in the National Planning Policy Framework
Policy P9 should be re-drafted to require new developments to adhere to the latest Building Regulations or, when adopted, the Future Home Standards / national guidance that requires all new dwellings to be net carbon zero.
The Council should make allowance for a fabric-first approach within Policy P9.
Further information in relation to limb 3vi should be provided to ensure this is enforceable.
