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?

"Highest Possible Standards" would mean that all development has to be to to Passivhaus standards : https://bregroup.com/a-z/the-passivhaus-standard/
If an application complies with latest Building Regulations with regard to materials used, insulation values etc, this is not the "Highest Possible Standard" and so would fail this Policy? Policy will therefore be ineffective in application

The requirement to improve the energy efficiency of the "original building" for development applications for extensions seems unworkable - how will it be assessed, and what minimum level of improvement to the "original building" will be required. This is likely to deter improvements to the housing stock of Rutland, potentially reducing improvements in energy efficiency delivered via extensions, as people will be deterred from building them by this policy.

"Proposals that include electric vehicle parking provision that exceeds or improves on the requirements set by Building Regulations will be supported"
This phraseology could be interpreted as any development that meets this policy will be supported, regardless of other attributes of the development

CC13 Sustainable Travel, only seems to deal with charging of electric cars rather than covering any other forms of sustainable travel - Buses, Walking, Bicycles etc - the policy should be renamed to reflect this.
