Requirements that go above and beyond the standard building regulation requirements as set out by the Draft Policy, applying the higher Building Regulations standard M4(2) and M4 (3), should be justified and otherwise considered on a site-by-site basis, and on a needs basis. This will ensure that homes are being built in the most appropriate locations to meet needs at the time of development. A blanket approach is not considered to be appropriate.

Taylor Wimpey request further evidence regarding the approach to large scale developments (being those over 500 dwellings) should provide pitches and plots within the Site. The principle of providing such plots in sustainable locations is fully supported, however there is a question as to whether there is an identified need for such plots to be located as part of a large scale housing development.

We would recommend that the approach set out in the Warwick Net Zero DPD and supporting SPD is followed, this requires the consideration and reduction of upfront embodied carbon, without setting a specific target at this stage. The application of specific targets needs to be fully considered as part of the Plan evidence base and viability assessment.
