Whilst I support every effort being made to reduce our carbon footprint and reduce waste, I think that RCC could do much more to demand and enforce the placement of heat exchange systems and solar panels in all new-build properties in our county. Developers and construction companies should not be given planning permission unless they agree to this policy. Currently this is not happening and it is very short-sighted.

Building on areas known to flood should not be permitted. Currently, two sites in Oakham which are known to flood are being built on. This is madness.

The requirement in the policy is simply for the submission of a statement, but this will not achieve the stated objective of the policy. Policy CC1 does not give a clear indication of the content of such a statement and the threshold whereby permission might be refused. More fundamentally, once a statement has been prepared and submitted, and permission granted, there is no mechanism within the policy for it to be enforced. The policy will not achieve its stated aim and therefore will not effective. The policy will not comply with National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) paragraph 16 (d) as it is not clearly written and unambiguous, so it is evident how a decision maker should react to development proposals. For these reasons the policy should be deleted.

Policy CC1 is ambiguous, and it is not clear how a decision maker should react to development proposals; the Policy is also unreasonable as promoters and landowners will submit planning applications, but not necessarily know how waste management will be dealt with during the construction stage.

The broad principles of this policy are supported and align with the NPPF (2023) (Paragraph 157). However, the wording of the policy is focused more on waste management and construction waste.

Surely local food production can also be a significant contributor.

Respondent: National Highways

Policy CC1 (Supporting a Circular Economy) sets out to support development proposals that will contribute to the delivery of circular economy principles. As such National Highways recommends the principles set out in the DfT Circular 01/2022 are considered, including, but not limited to, the following:
• Early engagement with National Highways to understand transport related impacts on the SRN from prospective development.
• Positive engagement and cooperation to proposals that encourage sustainable economic growth.
• Robust and transparent evidence base that demonstrates transport impacts on the SRN, including cumulative impacts, and informs the transport strategy for the area.
• Welcomes strategies and policies that reduce car dependency, need for travel and reliance on SRN, and maximises opportunities for sustainable travel solutions such as walking, wheeling, cycling, public transport and shared travel.
