The definition of net zero carbon buildings within draft Policy Direction 22 is unclear. A requirement for all new buildings to be designed and built to be Net Zero Carbon in operation is likely to come at the expense of housing delivery on some sites. In order to be sound, any Net Zero policy will need to ensure that it has been viability tested. With regards to Criteria 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of Part A, as per paragraph 164 b) of the Framework, the requirements in Local Plans should be in line with the requirements of Building Regulations.

Godwin Developments acknowledge the policy direction as set out in Draft Policy Direction 22 regarding Net Zero Carbon Buildings. It is noted that this policy appears to be following the directions set by Building Regulations Part L 2021, Future Homes Standard (FHS) and Future Building Standards (FBS).

It is noted that Warwick District have already adopted a Net Zero Carbon DPD which brought forward the FHS and FBS by including these standards in the DPD and therefore sets standards for current schemes.

Asiant : Mr Will Whitelock

Catesby Estates are committed to responding to the climate crisis and are actively looking to deliver housing to standards above those set out in current building regulations in response to this challenge. However, it is important for the policy to recognise that renewable and low carbon energy dwellings may not always be practicable or viable in new developments.

It is considered that a requirement to future-proof new development to adapt to the effects of higher and more extreme temperature change could be incorporated as part of design guides/codes for strategic development sites or locations.

Roof top solar should 'max out' the roof. You see far too many new homes (attached picture taken in January 2025). Developers will game the system otherwise. Developments should also include batteries with sufficient capacity to cover at least 100% of expected normal daily usage. We have an EV, and charge our house battery overnight. In January 2025, just 2.9% of our imported electricity was charged at peak rate. (Effective rate 7.19p)

'Heat-pump ready' homes should include pre-installed connection points to existing hot and cold water systems. Having an airing cupboards size space for a water tank is not sufficient.

Yes. However, the proposed standards should be tightened considerably, for example:
Residential buildings
Criterion 1. SAP 10.2 will be replaced by HEM possibly later in 2025. HEM is more accurate than SAP and was modelled on the Passivhaus PHPP tool. It is open source and uses wrappers, meaning that the specification and indeed should be based on Energy Use Intensity (EUI) eg kWh/m2/y
The final policy should be contain detailed information such as that used in the Greater Cambridge Local Plan Document.

Agree that houses need to be built with energy efficient measures. But it is not enough to recognise this an approach, there needs to be legislation in place that holds developers to account and obligated to build homes with more energy efficient measures including solar panels, heat efficient boilers and smart meters. If there is no regulation in place developers can build how they like. By not enforcing this contractually, we are not only missing a huge opportunity towards NET Zero 2050 targets but we are fundamentally failing our young generation who are most impacted by the climate crisis.
