The policy focuses on reducing embodied carbon in new developments by encouraging the reuse of existing building materials and adopting circular economy principles. This approach aligns with the NPPF, in relation to mitigating climate change through sustainable construction practices.

However, it should be noted that the proposed 'Part Z' amendment, advocating for the inclusion of embodied carbon considerations in Building Regulations, whilst not yet enacted into law, may provide alternative measures. Therefore, the SWLP's policy on embodied carbon should be worded in a way to ensure consistency with emerging Building Regulations amendments to avoid unnecessarily exceeding these.
