8 Issue T1 - 20-minute neighbourhoods 5.18.1 St. Modwen supports the principle of the 20-minute neighbourhoods as a design principle. It is considered beneficial to maximise opportunities for people to meet their regular day-to-day needs near to where they live and to do this within a reasonable walking distance. 5.18.2 St. Modwen questions the principle of the 20 minute neighbourhood being used as a Broad Location or New Settlement selection tool. The application of 20-minute neighbourhood standards should not be applied to site selection for sites of a strategic scale. This is because large sites have the ability to deliver services and achieve a 20-minite neighbourhood criteria without reference to existing services. Land East of Southam proposes a residential led mixed use solution with the opportunity to deliver local services, community use, open space and recreation facilities, doctor’s surgery and local convenience retail along with access to sustainable public transport and non motorised user links to wider services.

Q-C12: Please add any comments you wish to make about water management or flood risk in South Warwickshire

Issue C11 - Water Management 5.19.1 St. Modwen support any emphasis placed on water efficiency measures in new development proposals. The East of Southam vision document acknowledges the water stressed nature of the local water resource catchment and includes proposals for any water re-use and efficiency measures that might be adopted as part of the proposed development. Issue C12 – Flood Risk 5.20.1 St. Modwen support the policy position taken to protect land subject to flooding from inappropriate development. The East of Southam vision document gives consideration of surface and fluvial flood risk in masterplan design. The findings of the SFRA Level 1 report conclude that there is nothing of material significance that will present a constraint to the development of land East of Southam. The proposals actively incorporate the integration of an ecological enhanced green and blue infrastructure network.

Option B5a: Explore and pursue an integrated Environmental Net Gain Policy

Option B5b: Explore environmental net gain through separate policies

Option B5c: None of these

Q-B9: Should the plan include a policy requiring the safeguarding of sites of national importance, sites of local importance, and other non-designated sites known to make a positive contribution to biodiversity or geodiversity; unless the benefits of the proposal clearly outweigh the need to protect the site. Where possible conserve and enhance these sites.

Nothing chosen

Q-B10: Please add any comments you wish to make about a biodiverse and environmentally resilient South Warwickshire

1 Issue B1 – Environmental Net Gain 5.21.1 St. Modwen support Option B5a to explore and pursue an integrated Environmental Net Gain Policy. This approach should advocate flexible and workable net gain solutions to facilitate on site and off site solutions that maximise the benefits to the SWLP. It should apply an integrated approach, utilising ENG whilst still achieving a 10% net gain for biodiversity. This would be the most logical tactic, particularly considering the holistic nature of the approach required to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, which is a core focus of the SWLP.

Option C2a: Require decentralised energy systems to be utilised for developments over a relevant size threshold, where viable

Option C2b: Have a policy encouraging the consideration of decentralised energy systems

Option C2c: None of these

Agent: Copperfield Land and Planning Land Limited

Q-C3.1: Do you think we should develop a carbon offsetting approach to new developments where it is demonstrated that it is not possible to achieve net carbon zero requirements on site?

Nothing chosen

Q-C3.2: Do you have any proposals for projects/schemes within South Warwickshire in which developer (or local business) offset payments could be invested to secure emissions removals or reductions?

No answer given

Q-C3.3: Please add any comments you wish to make about renewable energy generation or carbon sequestration in South Warwickshire

Issue C2: Decentralised energy systems 5.22.1 St. Modwen support C2b the use of flexible policy wording to allow arrangements for carbon offsetting. We acknowledge that the consultation document has recommended a number of forms of different decentralised energy systems from the more infrastructure intensive district heating to the power only option of micro-grids. We would advocate a site specific approach with some flexibility not forcing everyone down the route of specific technologies.

Option C6.1a: Include a policy that requires new developments to have a whole lifecycle emissions assessment, with a target for 100% reduction in embodied emissions compared to a 'business-as-usual' approach to construction

selected

Option C6.1b: Include a policy that has different whole lifecycle reduction targets for different scales and types of developments and for different time periods

selected

Option C6.1c: None of these

selected

Q-C6.2: If a phased approach is used, what dates and thresholds should be used?

No answer given

Q-C6.3: Please add any comments you wish to make about Net Zero Carbon buildings in South Warwickshire

Issue C6: Whole Life-Cycle carbon emission assessments 5.23.1 St. Modwen believe that requiring a policy which seeks Whole Life-Cycle Carbon (WLC) Assessments for all new developments is a challenging target. Seeking a target for 100% reduction in embodied emissions is a bold ambitious target that would be quite challenging for the market to deliver at this point in time. That said, the industry is evolving rapidly and by the time the Plan comes into force it is likely that there will be more WLC Tools on the market. Careful consideration should be given to the wording of SWLP policy and the potential use of an SPD to cover this topic may provide more Local Plan flexibility to adapt as technology changes.

Q-C9.2 Please add any comments you wish to make about climate responsive development design in South Warwickshire

4 Issue C7 – Adapting to High Temperatures 5.24.1 St. Modwen support a policy that requires new developments to respond to the impacts of higher temperatures. Many local authorities already require developments to provide carbon/energy assessments that would typically include a review of assessments outlined in the cooling hierarchy. Therefore, we think it would be appropriate for the Plan to include a policy that requires new developments and changes to existing buildings to incorporate measures to adapt to higher temperatures. Issue C9 – Mitigating Biodiversity Loss 5.25.1 St. Modwen support a policy requiring new development and changes to existing buildings to incorporate measures to increase biodiversity. We would comment that a fixed target with no flexibility could significantly limit opportunities for some plots, therefore it may be worth having some flexibility within the target to allow for offset measures or a proportionate response.
