Some comments on these individual points:
a. Noted and agreed. Initially the costs of complying and delivering the higher environmental standards of energy use and water efficiency may need to be taken into account in any scheme viability exercise.
b. Noted and agreed. If for example PV panels are proposed on new homes then the extra costs of those panels may need to be addressed in any scheme viability exercise.
c. Noted and agreed that development should be located where people have a clear choice of cycling or walking to local facilities as opposed to their cars.

Noted that the 2011 Census was used for modelling. We suggest it would be better to use 2021 Census data which is now available. It may be helpful to clarify the above table is mandatory in terms of setting the mix of homes to be delivered on schemes generally, or if it is advisory.

DE1: Promoting Good Quality Design

Respondent: Buckminster and Norwich Hub Ltd
Agent: Godfrey-Payton & Co
Support the policy DE1 and looks forward to commenting upon any Design Guides and Codes the council consult on in the normal way. If a particularly expensive design solution is required by the council then it would be reasonable for that related costs to be taken into account in any viability assessment.
Para b - MMC may need to be increasingly employed to achieve Zero Carbon buildings. It could be that there is not a neat fit with point b and it could be the same for points 1. a and c. MMC may be a better fit with point 6 a-c.
Sustainable Building and Construction 11.6 to 11.9. 11.9 text - It would be reasonable that any costs related to going beyond mandatory Building Regulations requirements be taken account of in the Whole Plan Viability Assessment.
It is noted and welcomed that the final policy, will be informed by a Whole Plan Viability Assessment which will accompany the plan.

Policy OS1: Open Space and Recreation
Representation ID: 1846
Received: 25/04/2024
Respondent: Buckminster and Norwich Hub Ltd
Agent: Godfrey-Payton & Co
The new and revised standards of open space (compared to the adopted Local Plan Jan 2020) are all noted. We assume that the Whole Plan Viability Assessment will allow for those costs of creating the open space and recreation facilities as part of its normal analysis.
