Bellway supports the need to measure and reduce the embodied carbon of development. However, the requirements of this policy will require further consideration to ensure that they are feasible and viable.
The proposed targets provided from LETI and RIBA provide a mixture of targets which relate to both the upfront embodied carbon of development (stages A1-A5), as well as the whole life carbon of development (Stages A1-D4), they do not provide a consistent set of targets or consideration.
At this stage the Plan’s evidence base provides no details on the consideration of embodied carbon, or potential costs of achieving the targets set out.
We would recommend that the approach set out in the Warwick Net Zero DPD5 and supporting SPD6 is followed, this requires the consideration and reduction of upfront embodied carbon, without setting a specific target at this stage. The application of specific targets needs to be fully considered as part of the Plan evidence base and viability assessment.
