69. IM Land supports the consideration of climate change and resilience in the design of new development. The application of any specific targets which go beyond the requirements of the Building Regulations or national guidance needs to be fully considered as part of the Plan’s evidence base and viability assessment.

The draft policy seeks to ensure that new development and changes to existing buildings are resilient and flexible to future changes in climate, focusing on adaptability to future climate impacts. The approach aligns with the NPPF which advocates for proactive strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

However, care should be taken to avoid exceeding Building Regulations, for example in relation to overheating risks in new residential development, unless there is robust evidence that demonstrates that this is justifiable and a necessity.

The importance of climate resilient design in development is recognised, along with the cooling hierarchy, optimising the use of permeable surfaces and Green Infrastructure, mitigating flood risk, and incorporating water efficiency measures. It is appropriate for development in the Plan area to be accompanied by a completed Climate Change Checklist, in line with the existing development plan for Stratford-on-Avon.

Hill Residential supports the consideration of climate change and resilience in the design of new development. As part of new design we give consideration to preventing overheating through application of the cooling hierarchy as noted, focussing on passive design measures in the first instance. This can include design, orientation and tree planting.

I broadly support the policy, but I think the ventilation hierarchy is wrong: the Passivhaus standard, with high airtightness and mechanical ventilation, is usually seen as best practice, presumably because you cannot combine high energy efficiency with passive ventilation. Passive ventilation therefore shouldn't be promoted in this way.

The option looks to include a policy that requires new developments to incorporate measures to adapt to higher temperatures such as the use of cool materials and using green infrastructure to create cooling. It is recommended that option C7c is taken forward ‘None of these’. This is because this area is now covered via Part O of the Building Regulations and the plan should not seek to amend or go beyond the building regulations. The Council also need to be mindful of how part O (Overheating) of the building regulations is balanced alongside daylight and sunlight requirements.
Therefore, in order for the future plan to be found sound the following should be implemented:
• Any future policy should be stepped in line with emerging government targets and requirements and
• Ensure the policy is properly assessed within the forthcoming viability assessment.

In principle, the Cotswolds National Landscape (CNL) Board agrees with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 23.
This approach aligns with the approach that is advocated in Policy CC1 (Climate Change - Mitigation) of the CNL Management Plan49 and in the Board’s Climate Change Strategy50.
However, in the context of the CNL consideration will need to be given to how this can be achieved whilst also ensuring that new development reflects the local distinctiveness of the built environment (for example, the use of locally sourced Cotswold limestone / ironstone and the use of vernacular architecture).
