We support measures that make the maximum possible contribution to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change. In particular measures that help to contribute towards delivering the renewable targets in Policies EN3 and EN4 of the draft SE Plan are supported and we look forward to being consulted on the Sites Allocation DPD.

To help reduce future transport demands, design standards should encourage the development of communications technology infrastructure in accordance with Policy T4 in the draft SE Plan.

Southern Water supports the use of BREEAM and the Code for Sustainable Homes standards in new residential and non-residential development.
Efficient use of water is important at a time when the demand for water is rising both as a result of population growth and increased per capita consumption. Southern Water promotes efficient use of water as part of a twin-track approach on managing demand for water as well as providing additional resources. This strategy has been developed in collaboration with the Environment Agency and helps to minimise the volume of water abstracted from the environment. Managing demand could be achieved through metering of new properties and incorporation of water efficeint water fittings and appliances, such as low flow taps, showers, low flush toilets and water butts. Reducing growth in per capita consumption through water efficiency will help to limit the amount of water that needs to be abstracted from the environment.
Supply of water for public consumption relies on abstraction from groundwater and other resources. Pollutants from the built up areas of new development could potentially be carried into these resources by run-off or seepage, thereby contaminating water supply. Southern Water therefore supports a strategic policy which protects against water pollution.

I ask that the Council include in the Local development framework that specific support be given to the principle of carbon neutral developments located outside the normal development envelope.

Minimising environmental impact - BWEA strongly recommend that the Council avoid using generic phrases which simply seek to encourage the use of energy efficiency, renewable energy and the minimisation and management of waste and pollution, for example, as such phrases lack the detail and commitment necessary to ensure that such aspirations are achieved. Strongly recommend inclusion of an overarching climate change policy within the document, addressing above issues and inclusion of discrete, proactive policies on energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable development & construction, within Development Control Development Plan Document in order to provide detailed policy direction on each issue and to ensure that such environmental measures are deliverable.

While building regulations will be strengthened over the next decade, BWEA recommend the inclusion of a discrete policy on sustainable design and construction methods, and the introduction of minimum efficiency standards. Such policy woudl help ensure increases in energy efficiency within the existing building stock, as well as in new builds. BWEA recommend looking at the Renewable Energy Toolkit developed by London Energy Partnership for further guidance.

SMPCT, as a responsible public organisation, will always seek to reduce the environmental impact of their new developments. However, it would be beneficial if additional guidance could be produced by the Council to assist developers in ensuring how new developments will achieve the policy objectives.

And another get out clause. Should read 'all new commercial development, or residential development will provide at least 10% of their energy requirements from onsite renewable energy generation'

We welcome policies which promote environmental sustainability which should also take account of the guidance provided on objective 2, to incorporate oppportunities for biodiversity enhancement as part of building design. this should be fed through to Preferred Approach 44. We look forward to seeing further details included on sustainable housing & climate change.

The recognition of waste as a resource & the need to incorporate recycling facilites generally, & not just for housing developments, is strongly welcomed.

It would be helpful to include an additional reference to acknowledge the need for waste reduction for all waste streams & to indicate support for local initiatives to reuse or treat local waste streams to facilitate diversion from landfill. Given that PA44 is the preferred approach, it should be supported by appropriate objectives & reflected in the vision.

Sustainable transport access needs to be included in this as well as in the transport section in Chapter3. This section is more about designing sustainable developments that should have the principles of sustainable transport provision & access built in to them & should state that requirement. There also need to be cross referencing to the Accessibility Strategy and draft action plan.

Other Castle Ward Forum concerns include car dependency & waste management caused by small 'unregulated' development within high density areas.
