Air quality monitoring should be undertaken in all proposed areas to establish a baseline and comparison. Increase in popluation, will increase the air quality pollution. An increase risk of pollution in the waterways too.

This feels completely disconnected from the fact that poor air and noise quality is a direct result of the car-dependent society we've created.
Build density and walkable neighbourhoods, and decent public transport infrastructure, and all of this goes away for free.

Wates Developments supports Draft Policy Direction 29 in principle and note that NPPF paragraph 187e states that planning policies should contribute to and enhance the natural and local environment by “preventing new and existing development from contributing to, being put at unacceptable risk from, or being adversely affected by, unacceptable levels of soil, air, water or noise pollution or land instability”. If selected for allocation, land at Coppington Farm, Wellesbourne (part of the SG15 Strategic Growth Option) would ensure that impacts are as minimal as possible, and suitable mitigation measures are put in place where any residual impacts are identified.

DTC RESPONSE:

Section 9.1, Policy Direction 29 – Pollution
The MOD supports the inclusion of a reference within this policy direction to ensuring that new development
proposals do not have an adverse impact on existing operations. It is vital that the ‘agent of change’ principle
referenced in Paragraph 200 of the NPPF is applied to planning applications for noise-sensitive uses to
ensure that appropriate mitigation is put in place so that long-established development and uses are not
compromised as a result of noise complaints from new development. The MOD would like to see this policy
direction developed into a strongly worded policy which requires robust noise assessments for potentially
noise-sensitive developments, that take into account all relevant sources of noise.

Respondent: Cotswolds National Landscape Board

Overall, the Cotswolds National Landscape (CNL) Board agrees with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 29.
However, we recommend that additional policy direction should be provided in relation to lighting. In particular, we recommend that any proposals involving outdoor lighting should be required to:
• Apply the five key principles of outdoor lighting:59
o Needed: Lighting should be clearly justified, appropriate for the area with a clear purpose and benefit without presenting unacceptable intrusion.
o Targeted: Light should be directed to where it is needed and not spill into neighbouring spaces, or in a direction that causes a nuisance to neighbours, wildlife or the night sky.
o Low light: Light should be no brighter than necessary and provide appropriate illuminance for the activity.
o Colour: Warm colour lights should be used to reduce the impact on sky glow, wildlife and human health.
o Controlled: Lights should be shielded, dimmed or turned off when not required.
•Comply with relevant best practice guidance, such as the guidance published by the Institution of Lighting Professionals.
The dark skies of the CNL are one of the area’s special qualities. As such, lighting is a particularly important consideration in the CNL and its setting. The Board has recently adopted its own lighting guidance which will be made available on the CNL website shortly. Ideally, the policy and / or supporting text should make explicit reference to this guidance.

Any development should seek to minimise pollution which, with its adverse effects on air, land and water, negatively affects the physical and mental health of the population. Action needs to be taken at every stage, including during construction, to maintain air quality, and not (as DPD -29 implies) mitigated subsequently. No detail is given about monitoring or about the steps to be taken to counter potential adverse effects, both of which are important.

WCC would recommend installation of air quality monitors specially in the Air Quality Management Areas (areas where air quality is a particular issue).

WCC Ecology supports the approach a laid out, however, it is not clear in the approach what compensation (if any) will be required should a development not meet the policy requirements. WCC Ecology would like the policy to include a porous surface metric to be included in the policy. A simple metric that calculates the current and future permeable surface values based on the CIRIA methodology and where there is a residual loss compensation is required. Reason: to ensure aquifer recharge is not impacted upon through development.
