This is a rural site with endangered species. Insufficient carbon reducing strategies are in place and inceased traffic as well as redidents will add to pollution. Development is not appropriate.

Rutland County Council may hold this as an objective. But until they actually move towards the objective it will not be taken seriously.
Certainly in Whissendine, O can list many more decisions the Council has made which will increase our carbon footprint, adversely impact on climate change and increase the risk of harm to people, communities, the environment, and the economy.

If you are serious, go ahead. Demonstrate your progress.
If these are empty promises, please divert your resources to doing things that are really useful to your communities instead.

I support all of this. Though I would prioritise local rather than global measures as a proper infrastructure will give this small area the ability to meaningfully commit to more wide-reaching policies in the future.

The Objective should include innovative solutions to tackle climate change. For example:
- Strategies to reduce energy demand through increased efficiency and reducing need for car use.
- community education of energy saving and waste reduction
- strategy to improve insulation of homes and industrial sites
- Consideration of alternative renewable energy sources (Anerobic digestion, Small modular reactors etc)

Support of course but how deliver ? Not when new builds are allowed to install gas and oil heating systems. Eg off Uppingham Road. Oakham

The role of nature-based solutions is clearly identified and supported, along with the need to increase biodiversity and put nature into recovery in order to mitigate/adapt to climate change.

I agree with this. To achieve it, we must:
• eliminate or minimise use of carbon intensive building materials such as concrete & cement. Can this be guaranteed?
• Ensure homes are highly insulated and all have solar panels such that the energy to run these buildings is close to zero – ie at or near Passiv Haus standards.
• Ensure the houses are built to last a long time.
• Ensure owners can easily get into the centre of Oakham for work or leisure on foot, bicycle, or bus.

Plan appears to concentrate on National guidelines, the plan only addresses new build developments and not existing dwellings which rely heavily on carbon generated fuels.

Respondent: Edith Weston Parish Council

Recent policies propose intensive re-development of the St George’s Barracks site and greenfield development in the Edith Weston parish.

Whilst this represents a reduction from previous proposals, these proposals are at odds with the vision, particularly with respect to climate change, rural character and natural environment and infrastructure.

Similarly, they would be contrary to strategic objectives SO1, SO2, SO3, SO4, SO5, SO8, SO9, and SO10.

This should also include a bullet on waste management/recycling and also mention the need to minimise demolition, etc. in developments.
