Whilst Bird Group are supportive of the Councils taking steps to reduce carbon emissions in new development, we question the focus placed solely on embodied carbon solely associated with buildings/ building materials. If embodied carbon is to be assessed, we believe that the overall impact of proposed a development should be considered at the planning stage e.g. the embodied carbon in any offsite supporting infrastructure that might be specifically required to make the development acceptable in planning terms such as new highways infrastructure. In such cases the embodied carbon impact would clearly be much greater than would be the case for a development which is well located to take advantage of existing infrastructure capacity and requires little of no supporting new infrastructure.
