Q-C4.1 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. BDWH is committed to working towards carbon reduction as part of its wider business objectives. In 2021 Barratt Developments was recognised as the UK’s most sustainable housebuilder in the Housebuilder Awards, following its success as the top scoring UK housebuilder by the Carbon Disclosure Project. The Barratt Building Sustainably Framework sets out Barratt Development’s sustainability ambitions and targets, which include all homes to be zero carbon by 2030 and Barratt Developments to be Net Zero in its own operations by 2040. Option C4.1a. is appropriate because Building Regulation standards change to address and accommodate best practice and the latest technology and standards. Local Plan policy is not as agile in responding to such innovation and as such is not considered to be an appropriate way to control building standards.

Q-D2: Option D2d: None of these Design codes should not be unduly restrictive. Detailed design of a site should take into account the relevant technical considerations that cannot be fully investigated at the plan making stage. Q-D3: Option D3a: Include a policy which underlines the relevance and importance of density, but which does not identify an appropriate minimum density or range of densities across South Warwickshire. Option D3a is appropriate as this would enable a more locally tailored approach to density, which seeks to make the most efficient use of land, taking into account the specific context each site. This approach could also be adapted to align with the general requirement set out within the NPPF7 for Local Plans to include the use of minimum density standards for city and town centres and other locations that are well served by public transport. 7 National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 125.
