10.1 Whilst the direction of Policies CC1-CC5 are supported, Allison Homes consider they have potential to duplicate and/or overlap matters more appropriately dealt with by the National Building Regulations. It’s considered a single more focussed climate change policy for new development and changes to existing buildings requiring as a minimum compliance with latest Building Regulations would reduce complexity and ambiguity for applicants and decision-makers.

de Merke Estates supports the aims and objectives of tackling the present climate emergency, and helping to reduce carbon emissions and minimise the impact of climate change on the lives of RCC residents and local businesses.To this end, and to best achieve such aims and objectives, it is clear that the most sustainable location for the majority of planned future growth in the County should be at Oakham. The Council’s own Sustainability Assessment (Settlement Assessment, Jan 2024) concluded that Oakham (with Barleythorpe) scored the highest in the evaluation the relative sustainability merits of each settlement against each SEA theme. In the light of the present Local Plan strategy, we consider it will “not be effective” in achieving the stated Climate Change aims and objectives

AWS submits this representation with the intention that it enables joint work with RCC prior to the Local Plan’s submission for Examination, supports agreed Modifications and so will avoid unresolved Issues being taken to Examination. We recognise at this stage of the Plan that some evidential gaps may only be possible to be resolved when a new Plan is progressed which considers the uplift in housing need proposed by Government in July 2024. That evidence base should include an Integrated Water Management Study, an updated SFRA using soon to be published EA modelling and Whole Life Carbon Assessment. AWS broadly supports the draft Plan
and considers its spatial approach is deliverable. The delivery of the environmental and economic
benefits of that proposed development could though be compromised if the Rutland Water policy
and possible local landscape designations are not reviewed and amended.
