Policy SP5 Climate Change
Comment:
The inclusion of a policy specifically addressing climate change is welcomed, however, the
policy should be worded in such a way as to place an onus on developers to actively
demonstrate how waste management proposals have been located, designed and will be
operated in a manner to minimise any potential impacts on climate change and to be resilient
to future climate change. This could be a criteria-based policy which sets out what
development proposals will need to include and demonstrate.
Recommended Change:
It is recommended that Policy SP5 is amended such that it places a clear requirement on
developers to demonstrate within planning applications how their proposals have been
located, designed and will be operated in a manner to minimise any potential impacts on
climate change and to be resilient to future climate change. This could be a criteria-based
policy which sets out what development proposals will need to include and demonstrate.
