New housing sites should include roof solar panels as standard.
If old buildings are being demolished then there needs to be proof that this is the best option. Cost should not be just the only reason. It may cost more to refurbish but it will be a greener solution.

If this policy is to be taken seriously the principles within should be applied to the Sustainability Appraisal to create a circular plan! None of the very well made points in this policy have been applied to the site selection of the Officers Mess - which could and should be repurposed.
Rutland could and should be one of the first counties to achieve Net Zero by 2040 - but there needs to be a much stronger plan.

Demolition should only be supported where it has been demonstrated there is no alternative. Expert advice and additional facilities will be needed to help with feeding construction waste into a local circular economy eg waste recovery sites to deposit what is no longer required and from which to acquire 'second hand' building materials.

The Policy does not have much to say about the Circular Economy beyond construction. I suppose this highlights the limitations of the Local Plan, in that it is only about (property and land) development. This policy is a good example of where a cross-reference to other policies would be useful to the reader (e.g. referencing policies which touch on source of materials, including potential reuse).

Whilst supportive of the aims of the policy, we cannot see how this will be interpreted, e,g if the approach to Site Waste is listed as not complying with the 5R's will this lead to the application being refused?

Circular economy is vital for the reduced Carbon future. This policy needs to go further and be stringent.

The three principles of the circular economy would be reinforced if the following was added:
• “Waste and pollution should be viewed as design flaws rather than the inevitable products of the buildings and infrastructure as constructed.”

Before we even consider losing ground to new housing developments, we absolutely must prioritising existing vacancies buildings be they residential or otherwise. They also should be renovated for human habitation with environmental protection principles in place that support the circular economy (i.E. rooftop solar arrays, insulation, elevation from the ground to protect from flooding).

This policy does not go far enough. It is vital the principle of Circular Economy goes beyond the built environment. It should include policies to reduce waste of energy, water and all materials consumed by the citizens of Rutland. It should include measures to educate businesses and the public on waste reduction, vital in the current cost of living concerns. Circular economy principles should be included in all spatial planning strategies

But are concerned that regardless of size, householder applications for extensions and alterations should be exempt from Design and Access Statements.

We would ask that in Conservation Areas where an extensions or alterations involves construction for two storeys or more, a D & A Statement, should be provided.
This is in line with the existing requirement for all new builds in Conservation Areas.

The reason for seeking such a requirement is to ensure that larger extensions and alterations properly consider layout in relations to surrounding buildings, the scale of the development, landscaping, appearance, context in relation to the neighbourhood plan, consultation with local community, proposed use and access and parking requirements.

Whilst the intention that all developments (with the exception of householder applications for extensions and alterations) set out within submitted Design and Access Statements the approach to site waste management and how construction waste will be addressed is supported in principle, the expectations need to be proportionate to the type and scale of development proposed.

This is an interesting, new to Rutland, policy concept: together with Policy CC5 (Embodied Carbon) it will have a significant long term effect on carbon emissions.

However I note that the policy as written sounds like a Waste Management issue rather that addressing a “Circular Economy” as described in your consultation document. I would strongly suggest that the wording of Policy CC1 is altered to include, as a minimum, your phrase that requires that “buildings are designed for adaptation, reconstruction, and deconstruction, extending the useful life of buildings”. If this is the intention, it should be in the policy.

Whilst the title of this policy relates to the circular economy, the wording of the policy focuses on waste
management and construction waste. The supporting text briefly addresses the principles of the circular
economy, however, these are not addressed within the policy itself. If this policy is seeking to address the
circular economy design principles, the policy should relate more to the design of the buildings and how to
ensure they are reused and adapted with appropriate evidence to support the policy wording and providing
certainty as to how the policy should be implemented.

Plan concentrates on new build developments and reducing waste. As new development will only realise 10% growth of new homes over a 20-year period, more survey work should be undertaken on the existing household recycling and how that service could be improved. How will this be managed, resources required to audit, the Council are already stretched in terms of Highways inspectors for example. More Building control inspectors would be required to monitor the new developments.

We support policies on the circular economy including CC1 and Anglian Water continues to seek to maximise the resource value in operations including the generation of energy from biowastes. The waste hierarchy supports our aim to assist Councils in utilising existing infrastructure capacity rather than build new capacity which generates waste in construction.
