Alcester Town Council, Arrow with Weethley Parish Council, Kinwarton Parish Council, Wixford Parish Council and Great Alne Parish Council (together referred to as Alcester Parishes Group or ‘APG’) broadly supports these proposals, but proper implementation is key. Our communities require flood resilience planning to be at the heart of any proposal for new development.
Enhancing green spaces and tree planting will support biodiversity whilst also supporting community wellbeing and should be considered as part of this Chapter.

The thrust of this chapter, which aims for climate resilience and zero carbon in the plan area is in line with national policy and targets. Some of the figures and requirements, however, along with the wording of some of the policies are considered to be unsound, as set out in the above responses. In particular some policies will need to be evidenced for feasibility, and all will need to be viability tested

Agree with the principles - but do not see these principles being applied when thinking about sites, and the need to avoid issues as being the lowest impact. And this then defines how sites should be selected. Needs to move beyond perceptions and politics to hard numbers based on real design and real infrastructure costs - both financial and in terms of overall footprint.
There is no clear penalty system on developers to deliver the targets and these should be added to the policy so developers account for these.

The chapter align with the councils' 2019 climate emergency declarations, outlining a comprehensive strategy to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Key initiatives include promoting large-scale renewable energy generation, implementing net zero carbon building standards, enhancing energy efficiency in existing buildings, and integrating climate-resilient design principles. To strengthen this chapter, it is recommended to provide clearer policies based on robust evidence. Ensuring these policies are actionable and supported by robust evidence is crucial for achieving South Warwickshire's climate resilience and sustainability goals.

While the proposals in the A Climate Resilient and Net Zero Carbon South Warwickshire chapter are commendable in addressing climate change, I am concerned about the impact of developing SG04. This area has a history of flooding, and building on it could exacerbate flood risks unless extensive mitigation measures, such as sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), are incorporated. The potential strain on existing drainage infrastructure and the need to safeguard local ecosystems should be addressed. It is crucial to ensure that development on SG04 does not worsen flood risks or undermine the climate resilience and net-zero goals set for the area.

Taylor Wimpey broadly supports the objectives set out in the Plan to reduce GHG emissions and to ensure development is resilient to the effects of climate change. This notwithstanding, we have concerns about elements of the proposals which do not align with Government guidance and have not yet been adequately evidenced or considered as part of a viability assessment. Further work is required to ensure that the policy requirements set out are feasible. We recommend that the adopted Warwick Net Zero DPD is considered as part of the development of the Plan’s sustainability and climate change policies.

The policy directions will hopefully be retained and found sound however the expectations might be made easier to ‘comply with’ or achieve if the detail is clarified as what must be done. The guidance materials and calculations that are listed seem very technical to a lay reader. Could it lead to confusion and challenge from developers; are you confident that council officers have sufficient technical skills and the policy back-up? Otherwise additional burdens could result on the two Councils, esp. delays to decisions.

Agent: Turley

Richborough broadly supports the proposals in the ‘A Climate Resilient and Net Zero Carbon South Warwickshire chapter’ however, further consideration is required with regards to national policy requirements and viability.

The plan period for the SWLP is 25 years, and over this time national policy will change significantly as will the viability and feasibility of such schemes once new technologies become available and more cost efficient. The SWLP needs to allow room for these potential changes without also placing onerous and unviable restrictions on development that will take place in the shorter term.
