While the policy direction aligns with national planning policy, before deciding on the appropriateness of imposing a BNG requirement above the statutory 10% we requested that Council explore, and evidence, how this might impact on:
• the development capacity of sites when balancing other technical and environmental considerations (i.e. making best use of land, maximising densities and delivering sustainable development); and
• the viability of development proposals when the BNG requirement is considered cumulatively alongside other policy requirements (e.g. net zero carbon) and likely
planning obligations.
Draft Policy Direction 38 has the potential to add additional development costs that must be factored into the Viability Assessment produced with the Pre-Submission SWLP.
