I personally feel that the present strive towards 'net zero', and 'carbon neutral' is a financially floored target, that will not be at all viable for decades. The take-up of EVs, Ground source heat pumps, and various 'low carbon' paraphernalia has not been widely embraced, as it has proven too costly, and people remain unconvinced that this fast move towards it is a good thing. An unchecked increase in UK population growth has had the most negative increase in carbon emissions that cannot be slowed to a net zero anytime in the future, if it continues at present rate.

The criterion relating to renewable energy generation in new developments should be strengthened to require the installation of solar panels in all cases.

The following sentence is too weak: "The incorporation of renewable energy generation into employment development will be supported provided it is appropriate to the location and type of development". There are very circumstances where renewable generation would not be appropriate for a development, but the second part of the sentence above risks creating a loophole. Consequently, the sentence be upgraded to: "The incorporation of renewable energy generation will be required in employment development unless there is an exceptional reason against". This phrase still allows flexibility in the exceptional circumstances in which renewable generation is not appropriate.

I agree with the approach laid out to support the growth of renewable energy generation which should be a requirement of all new developments, and also in supporting, not only in principal, but practically the green economy. There is huge potential in the green economy to provide employment, income and opportunities that should be actively encouraged to position South Warwickshire as a leader in this area.

Whilst admirable the costs are of this are likely to restrict the adoption of green initiatives. Solar Farms have the reputation once suffered by double glazing salesmen and, given the rural nature of South Warwickshire, should be avoided at all costs.

I broadly agree with Draft Policy Direction 17 but believe stronger commitments are needed to ensure real progress toward a low-carbon economy. Encouraging businesses to adopt renewable energy, improve energy efficiency, and retrofit buildings is positive, but clear targets and incentives are necessary to drive adoption. Large-scale developments must demonstrate net-zero strategies and be located where sustainable transport options exist to reduce emissions. Additionally, Green Belt sites like SG04 should not be used for industrial expansion, as this contradicts sustainability goals. The plan must prioritise brownfield land and existing employment hubs to support genuine low-carbon economic growth.

However, a truly low carbon economy will only be possible if developments such as that at Long Marston do not involve the need for new residents to use private motor vehicles for work, leisure and service centre journeys to and from the site. The rural location is not sustainable if carbon emissions will be increased through the need to travel by car and thus cause additional noise and air pollution. The reality is that incoming residents will necessarily have existing jobs miles away from the site as this will be the only means of financing their housing.

Respondent: Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council

Bishop’s Tachbrook Parish Council supports the Draft Policy Direction but questions its effectiveness in shaping SWLP policies. Stronger wording is suggested to ensure employment development reduces its carbon footprint, retrofits improve energy efficiency and renewable energy generation is mandatory. Clarity is needed on how policies will be applied in planning decisions, particularly regarding businesses in the green economy. The Council also questions whether this policy is necessary, given Section 7 already addresses climate resilience. Additionally, it seeks clarification on whether compliance with energy-saving measures or direct contribution to the green economy is required for development approval.
