CC/NZ: Net zero carbon new buildings
Representation ID: 57768
Received: 11/12/2021
Respondent: Carbon Neutral Cambridge
We strongly support the proposed policy
We suggest that it would make more sense for the space heating requirement to state “All new dwellings should have a space heating demand of less than 20 kWh per meter squared per year”, rather than the current proposal of “15-20 kWh per meter squared per year”.

Climate change
Representation ID: 57769
Received: 11/12/2021
Respondent: Carbon Neutral Cambridge
We strongly support ambitious policies to mitigate and adapt to climate change. We would like Greater Cambridge Planning service to become a UK leader in ambitious policy and enforcement
Although we recognise that the Local Plan is mainly focussed on newbuild, rather that retrofit, we would like to see measures adopted to make it easier for home owners to upgrade the energy efficiency of existing homes. For example, by eliminating the need to get planning permission to install rendered external wall insulation or PV panels (unless this was essential to preserve important heritage aspects)

CC/WE: Water efficiency in new developments
Representation ID: 57770
Received: 11/12/2021
Respondent: Carbon Neutral Cambridge
We strongly support the proposed policy and would like to see it strengthened, so that development could only proceed where there was adequate, proven availability of water, without depleting the aquifer, and without incurring the energy and carbon cost of long distance water transfer.

CC/DC: Designing for a changing climate
Representation ID: 57771
Received: 11/12/2021
Respondent: Carbon Neutral Cambridge
We strongly support the proposed policy and the “cooling hierarchy”. Passive measures should be the top priority for keeping buildings cool in the heat waves that are to come, as this will reduce the overall cost, reduce energy consumption and improve wellbeing

BG/BG: Biodiversity and geodiversity
Representation ID: 57776
Received: 11/12/2021
Respondent: Carbon Neutral Cambridge
Preserving and enhancing biodiversity and green space is important for health and wellbeing, as well as carbon sequestration. It also makes the region a pleasant place to live, and hence benefits the local economy.

J/RW: Enabling remote working
Representation ID: 57778
Received: 11/12/2021
Respondent: Carbon Neutral Cambridge
We support the proposal to make it easier to work from home, or from local employment hubs. Enabling remote working (whether full time or part time) reduces carbon emissions and benefits the economy.
