Question 10. Do you think we should require extra climate adaptation and resilience features to new developments?
and better access requirements

Expressed thus it's a bit nebulous. Specifics should include forward looking water management: conservation, flood management

The adopted South Cambridgeshire Local Plan already contains policy objectives concerning this. There needs to be a recognition that such initiatives will add to the cost of new development (both housing and employment space) and that, ultimately, such initiatives will feed into higher house prices and employment rents/values. That may be deemed acceptable, but its effects do need to be considered so overall development viability must be assessed. It is not possible for the planning authorities to insist on a range of ‘essential’ planning requirements and to now also weigh new development with additional costs associated with climate adaptation and resilience features. There will be a financial impact if policy requires such matters. This particularly applies to new employment space and the current requirements of Policy CC3 should not be raised further. Low carbon energy generation should be encouraged but should not be mandatory. In particular, employment schemes that include low carbon and renewable energy and elements such as solar power and heating systems and electric car charging points should be looked on more favourably.

No, but the ones listed are extremely important and up till now they have not been adequately considered.

Yes, all new development should demonstrate how it mitigates against flood risk. Design guidelines should rigorously demonstrate they recognise our changing climate.

The push towards energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions is the role of building regulations. The Local Plan should focus on the delivery of growth in the most sustainable location and support investment in infrastructure links and open space that reduce the need to commute by car and help the population build healthy activities such as cycling and walking into their everyday routines. Drainage strategies already seek to ensure that a 40% uplift in capacity is built into new systems to account for anticipated change and this may well change again in the future.

A policy approach with multiple options for delivering net zero carbon is likely to be most effective in delivering development, as well as carbon neutrality. A multi-pronged approach should allow different solutions for different developments, reflecting context. For example, for some developments, Passivhaus energy standards may be achievable (going well above and beyond minimums set out in the Building Regulations), but for others, Building Regulations may need to be followed but an offset solution, such as a green bond or offset fund, could be used to achieve a net carbon reduction. Possible options need to be worked up in more detail as the new Local Plan progresses and must build in flexibility.

I despair of the fact that we are still building on flood plains at all but we are also doing this without including the necessary adaptations- not just for the site (where raising up the land seems to be the traditional answer), but for neighbouring houses which might be impacted..... There must be a significant amount that can now be built into building design for this, which would also help reduce energy use and costs for heating and cooling

Through its long term ownership commitment, it is the College’s intention to select development partner(s) to take forward its “Call for Sites” proposals that would share the College’s socially responsible vision for creating high quality low energy, low carbon development, using design coding and innovative construction techniques.
