There has to be better process than one that relies on 'tick boxes'. Developers need to commit to solutions that work.

In isolation these assessments will change very little. There must be an expectation in assessing planning applications that improved standards will be met. A cultural change is needed by the council and developers to making sure that better standards are expected and applied. Climate change will not be addressed by carrying on as we have been doing things in the past.

The Council needs a clearer plan for actually delivering and monitoring in line with the climate change priories of COP27, the Governments Climate change strategy and in line with the declared Climate Change Emergencies in both Council areas.

The Stratford On Avon checklist is a very good start. Please build on this.

An assessment, prior to involvement of a checklist, is absolutely necessary. We do not think it is going to be possible to adapt to RCP 8.5, so this might prove a difficult standard to apply in practice, so the Council policy should involve the flexibility to adjust this standard. Perhaps specifying current expected levels of heating, as set out by the IPCC or Met Office, would be better? That said, the main difficulties in adapting in the UK will be down to disruption to food supplies and the collapse of the international economy (and, more long-term, to flooding), rather than due to any difficulty in adapting our houses to higher temperatures, so a bit of "overkill" on this standard might not be a huge problem, particularly as the suspicion remains that projections for "where we are currently headed" (2.7 degrees, according to the Climate Action Tracker) might be a bit too rosy. In any case, it is important that the Councils ensure they have the in-house knowledge to be able to explore and apply this kind of assessment intelligently. If the Councils were able to do this for individual developments, this would also allow them to develop quite nuanced projections for specific local areas, independently of developments. These could be a powerful educative tool in making clear to people the concrete and imminent nature of these changes.

Climate Change Risk Assessments would be a very useful tool to aseess the climate change impact of development proposals. Once they become a business-as-usual feature of the planning process they should cease to be seen as an unnecessary obligation.

What does this mean ? I have no idea how such a thing might help.

- Q-C10.1: We support option C10.1c. We do not think the Local Plan is the right place for such policies which are being set at a national level already.

Risk assessments and checklists would be helpful but would need to be backed up by implementation and change, enforced for example through higher standards of building regulations (or locally set criteria if necessary).

- We support option C10.1c. Any requirements should be set at the national level unless there are very specific reasons and a sound reasoning for needing a different requirement to meet local circumstances.
