Similar to Draft Policy Direction 22, Magdalen College, Oxford considers that matters such as embodied carbon is best addressed at a national level to avoid different approaches and standards being set in different areas. The Planning and Energy Act 2008 does not state that LPAs can set specific standards with regard to the embodied carbon in new buildings. Nor is it included in the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). This is a new technical standard that should not be established through a Local Plan at a time housebuilders are preparing to work to the Future Homes Standards.
The College has concerns about the impact on deliverability of development of imposing such requirements, particularly on SME developers.
