Persimmon Homes are still of the view that it is unclear the impact this policy would have on the viability of a scheme. The requirements of this policy are not considered in the Whole Plan Viability Report (2023) or the Regulation 19 Viability Note and this has not been updated as part of this Regulation 19 plan. In the Council’s comments to representations received as part of the Regulation 18 Plan the Council have
commented that: ‘It is likely that further work to update the cost evidence for a number of options for the wording of the Climate Change policies will be undertaken to inform the next stage of the local plan. This will build on the Whole Plan
Viability Assessment (2023). Any changes to the draft policies arising from consultations responses and/ or new
evidence on climate change will be consulted on through the Regulation 19 consultation.’
It is clear from this response that the Council do not have the cost evidence to support this policy and for this
reason Persimmon Homes are of the view that this policy is not justified.
