Representation Summary:
St Philips notes that the Building regulations (Part L) have recently been updated and from 15 June 2022, homes will be required to achieve a 31% reduction in carbon emissions in comparison to previous standards[1]. Through Policy NB6, the Council is seeking to implement standards above what is required by Building Regulations. Following a review of the PP’s evidence base, St Philips considers that the Council has not provided sufficient evidence to justify this departure from national standards and therefore the policy is not legally compliant. This is in conflict with paragraph 31 of the NPPF.
