What level of impact is deemed unacceptable?
Policy should acknowledge that not all residents of a development will be new to a catchment area, may already be registered locally and therefore will not create an additional burden. Careful analysis is required with regard to the capacity of existing infrastructure to accommodate new patients before any conclusions are reached. The policy should provide additional flexibility by recognising on-site provision of health infrastructure may represent a more appropriate solution to meeting health needs.

The policy as currently written makes a blanket assumption that new education infrastructure will be required from all new development. Policy should recognise that new infrastructure will only be required where it can be demonstrated that existing capacity to accommodate growth does not currently exist.

Policy should define standards expected from development as per the open space standard in policy HC17. This will provide greater certainty in respect of infrastructure delivery requirements. Must take account of delivery of all potential site obligations when determining levels of requirement. The level of provision expected and the associated viability implications should be considered within the IDP and Viability Assessment.

The requirements for a ESP for all developments over 100 dwellings is not supported. Should be undertaken on a site by site basis depending on local circumstances. Requirements can be sourced by condition. Taylor Wimpy rely on subcontract business however the company can deliver training, engage with educational establishments and procure locally. Policy should be more flexible.

Proposed policy is ambiguous and specific requirements unjustified.

Concern regarding clause 3 of NB6 regarding introduction of a monitoring regime. Once sold the properties will be the responsibility of their owners and mortgagees. There are issues of data protection and consent surrounding the recording and sharing with a third party of energy use, air quality and overheating data. How will it be possible to ensure that all devices installed for monitoring will remain active. No indication council have considered GDPR implications, effect on mortgage-ability or effect on sales. Wired properties would presumably be less attractive in the market place.

Achieving ‘Zero carbon’ targets will require flexible approach to enable developers to use the most appropriate technologies available at any given time. This flexibility should be reflected in the policy. Governments proposals are for home to be Zero carbon ready from 2025 rather than achieving Zero carbon from 2025.

Embodied carbon emissions are unregulated within the UK, there is no nationally approved regulator or nationally recognised standard.

Policy should also contain a viability exception clause and avoid a simple pass or fail test to ensure they do not prejudice the future delivery of sustainable development. The costs of introducing the proposed policy requirements must be included within plan viability assessment and viability assessment of strategic sites. This should include the cost of network upgrades to support technologies.

Site north of Blackhalve Lane should be identified as a development site either during the plan period or as safeguarded land for future development. Such an allocation would maximise the District’s capability to assist GBBCHMA in meeting unmet housing need. A new long term Green Belt boundary would be formed by utilising the line of the disused railway. The site should be identified as having capacity for around 300 dwellings.

North of Blackhalve Lane
Sustainabiity Appraisal
Dispute the finding that the site would result in a Major Negative impact upon landscape and townscape. Site is identified as low-moderate for landscape sensitivity but ‘high’ Green Belt harm. Dispute the Green Belt impact and the greater weight that is given to Green Belt impact on the overall assessment. Score should be revised minor negative (see comments on Green Belt study).
Education – Negative impact on education fails to recognise Long Knowle Primary School within city of Wolverhampton is within 550m of the site also allocation of North of Linthouse Lane will provide a new primary school.
Housing – site will be greater than 99 dwellings and should score Major Positive against housing objective.
