Selby District Submission Draft Core Strategy – May 2011 _________________________________________________________________ 7. Improving the Quality of Life Introduction 7.1 The Planning System has an important role to play in controlling the quality of both the built and natural environment. Selby District contains a range of important environmental assets including listed buildings, conservation areas, wildlife habitats and a range of landscapes. It is equally important to promote the health and wellbeing of existing communities. 7.2 In order to deliver the Council’s vision for the area in a sustainable manner the Core Strategy seeks to enable the District and its residents to both mitigate and adapt to the future impacts of climate change. This is particularly important in Selby District that has significant areas that are at risk of flooding. The Core Strategy policies aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect resources, whilst providing opportunities to exploit realistic alternatives to ‘fossil fuels’ by promoting renewable energy (which will also combat fuel poverty and improve our energy security in the longer term). 7.3 Not only do policies seek to protect and enhance the District’s assets, but all new development will be expected to contribute to improving the quality of life of residents through high quality design that is appropriate in its context and exploits opportunities to enhance local character and the way areas function. Tackling Climate Change and Promoting Sustainable Patterns of Development Introduction 7.4 There is an overwhelming body of scientific evidence that indicates that climate change is a serious and urgent issue. And whilst there are some remaining uncertainties about eventual impacts, the evidence is now sufficient that central Government is giving clear and strong guidance to policy makers about the pressing need for action. 7.5 Emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, are the main cause of climate change. Energy use in buildings accounted for nearly half of emissions in 2005 and more than a quarter came from energy we use in heat light and to run our homes. 7.6 Energy security is also an important challenge. Many of the measures to cut carbon emissions also contribute to creating a healthy diversity of energy supply and addressing fuel poverty through lower bills for householders. The national ‘Fuel Poverty Strategy’ targets the three main factors that influence fuel poverty – household energy efficiency, fuel prices and household income. Core - 95 -
