The Draft Policy direction is supported in principle. The associated Justification wording cross-references the NPPF that opportunities to maximise sustainable transport solutions will vary between urban and rural areas is supported. Specific reference to this should be included within the Policy wording.

Taylor Wimpey supports the ‘Smart Cities’ Draft Policy direction in principle, with specific regard to all new residential developments including appropriate wired and wireless infrastructure to provide high speed internet access. However, as recognised within the draft policy wording, technological change is rapid and standards will evolve, and hence flexibility of requirement is necessary. The associated Justification wording cross references Smart Mobility solutions and it would be helpful to incorporate this into the Policy wording.

Taylor Wimpey supports the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 36 and considers that strategic allocations that can assist in enhancing protected sites, habitats and species as part of the proposals should be scored favourably through the next stage of the HELAA process.

Careful consideration should be given to increasing the requirement for BNG above 10% and the implication this will likely have for delivery and viability.

Draft Policy Direction 38 should also recognise that landowners and developers may have access to additional land within the LPA or elsewhere, where they can provide for any additional offsite mitigation required. Offsite mitigation should not be limited to those sites identified through the LNRS.

Taylor Wimpey welcome the opportunity to comment further on any environmental net gain policy. Again, consideration should be given to how any additional requirements would impact site deliverability/viability, and sufficient evidence provided to demonstrate and justify the need to go above and beyond national standards.

The Draft Policy Direction sets out the intention to apply a “Greening Factor” to major development, this is considered to be akin to a net gain policy, targeted at environmental enhancements. This ultimately repeats Draft Policy Direction 39 and therefore they are not considered to both be necessary.

Any additional Green Infrastructure requirement should be considered in respect of the existing nature of the Site and site constraints.

Clarity on how the greening factor will be calculated for an area should be provided and the methodology for developing this should also be consulted upon as part of the emerging plan.
