Richborough support the SWLP’s ambitions to measure and reduce the embodied carbon of development within the SWLP area. However further evidence is essential to demonstrate that such requirements are viable.
It is noted that the Government intend to set future national targets for embodied carbon emissions through amendments to Building Regulations. This would circumvent the need for policy requirements.
The policies within WDC's existing Net Zero DPD and supporting SPD require the consideration and reduction of upfront embodied carbon, without setting a specific target at this stage. Richborough consider that this would be reasonable approach for the SWLP.
