Q-C12: Please add any comments you wish to make about water management or flood risk in South Warwickshire

Much of the area within Lapworth Parish is subject to flooding and recently 1:100 year floods are occuring frequently as a result of climate change eg the Old Warwick Road was closed due to flooding for several days in early 2023. Ageing and limited infrastructure and lack of regular maintainence contributes toward regular flooding.

Option C6.1a: Include a policy that requires new developments to have a whole lifecycle emissions assessment, with a target for 100% reduction in embodied emissions compared to a 'business-as-usual' approach to construction

dewiswyd

Option C6.1b: Include a policy that has different whole lifecycle reduction targets for different scales and types of developments and for different time periods

Option C6.1c: None of these

Q-C6.2: If a phased approach is used, what dates and thresholds should be used?

We would suggest similar thresholds to that used elsewhere in the plan over 10 dwellings.

Q-C6.3: Please add any comments you wish to make about Net Zero Carbon buildings in South Warwickshire

Historic buildings, scheduled ancient monuments and historic landscapes, parks and gardens require a very careful approach. Clear understanding of the aesthetic, historical, communal and evidential significance (Historic Englsnd Conservation Principles 2008, 2019) is required. Where retrofitting of buildings or sites is proposed care must be taken to avoid damage to archaeological or historic remains. Un authorised alterations in some cases are criminal acts so prior consent should always be obtained. In QC5a it was not possible to indicate support for retrofitting within existing housing stock but a more nuanced approach is required for dealing with historic buildings, scheduled monuments and historic landscapes to avoid irretrievable damage to historic remains. Net carbon is a worthy goal but it has to be realised that this is a long term aim and requiring total retrofitting of a house simply because of a small scale application such as change of use or a dropped kerb is onerous and unreasonable. A carrot and stick approach should be put in place with advice and support and perhaps even a SW wide solar panel/heat pump/ hydrogen grant scheme. It is important to realise that much of the SW housing stock is historic and not well insulated. Fuel poverty is a very real issue in the rural parts of the area and many people simply cannot afford to retrofit homes with green energy panels/pumps/chargers etc.

Option C4.1a: Do not have a policy and allow new development to comply with the national building regulation requirements, which may change over time.

dewiswyd

Option C4.1b: Set a higher local standard beyond the building regulations requirements to achieve net zero carbon in all new developments.

dewiswyd

Option C4.1c: Have a phased approach to net zero carbon, setting a future date by which all new development will need to achieve net zero standards. In the intervening period new development will need to meet building regulation standards.

Option C4.2a: All new development

Option C4.2b: Development over a certain size

Q-C3.1: Do you think we should develop a carbon offsetting approach to new developments where it is demonstrated that it is not possible to achieve net carbon zero requirements on site?

Don't know

Q-C3.2: Do you have any proposals for projects/schemes within South Warwickshire in which developer (or local business) offset payments could be invested to secure emissions removals or reductions?

Ni roddwyd ateb

Q-C3.3: Please add any comments you wish to make about renewable energy generation or carbon sequestration in South Warwickshire

Care must be taken to avoid developers simply making offsite scarbon offsetting costs rather than addressing issues on site. Not all land is suitable for arable reversion and careful assessment should be made on a case by case basis before decisons are made eg a fragile historic landscape may have been preserved through use as pasture but could be destroyed by modern arable and forestry methods. Re-forestation proposals should be clearly linked to the Biodiversity objectives and policies.
