The option looks to include a policy that requires new developments to incorporate measures to adapt to higher temperatures such as the use of cool materials and using green infrastructure to create cooling. It is recommended that option C7c is taken forward ‘None of these’. This is because this area is now covered via Part O of the Building Regulations and the plan should not seek to amend or go beyond the building regulations. The Council also need to be mindful of how part O (Overheating) of the building regulations is balanced alongside daylight and sunlight requirements.
Therefore, in order for the future plan to be found sound the following should be implemented:
• Any future policy should be stepped in line with emerging government targets and requirements and
• Ensure the policy is properly assessed within the forthcoming viability assessment.
