Policy P15 Criteria 2 ii- the required size/quality of these spaces should be detailed. The current wording of the policy is inadequate as it may result in spaces which conform to the policy but are not functional.

Policy P15 Criteria 2 iii- this needs to be more robust to ensure carbon reductions in design.

Policy P15 Criteria 2 vi- this needs to be more robust. A truly independent assessment of tree stock is needed, as well as stronger protections to the existing stock. In the event of any loss of trees, carbon sequestration should exceed the previous tree stock on site, prior to any removal of trees, within 3 years.

Policy P15 Criteria 6- clarity required on the objective of optimising densities. Emphasis should be given towards promoting more efficient use of land.

Policy P15 Criteria 7- developers being ‘proactive’ to responding to climate change is not robust enough and too open to interpretation.
