Representation Summary:

Support the provision of electric vehicle charging points in principle. Part S of the Building Regs. now set out the national requirements for EV charging point requirements in new developments. There is no need to repeat these and no justification to go beyond them, therefore the references in the plan to EV charging points in Appendix 1 should be deleted.

Legally compliant? Yes

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The policy should be amended to make it clear that the 10% net gain will only apply following the introduction of the Environment Act.

Parts A and C appear to be inconsistent with the Environment Act which does not refer to securing habitat "in perpetuity", and seeks to prematurely introduce a level of detail and prescription pending the secondary legislation concerning managing net gain.

Policy NB4: Landscape Character

Representation ID: 4833

Received: 22/12/2022

Respondent: Crest Nicholson

Agent: Avison Young

Representation Summary:

The wording of this policy is inconsistent with the NPPF which does not make reference to generally maintaining and enhancing landscapes. Reference to 'protecting and retaining all trees and hedgerows' is unjustified and inconsistent with national policy. As such, the wording of this policy should be amended or deleted.

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The council's ambition to set its own standards are inconsistent with and go beyond Part L Building Regs. (2021) and Future Homes Standards. There is no justification for doing so.

It is unclear how Part 3 of the policy would be applied by the decision maker (i.e. what is an acceptable level of emodied carbon reduction?). There is no legal or policy basis for this.

Paragraph 2 of Part 3 of the policy is unduly onerous and unpracticable, particularly on schemes that deliver owner-occupied accommodation.

This policy should be deleted.
