Selby District Submission Draft Core Strategy – May 2011 _________________________________________________________________ e) Support sustainable flood management measures such as water storage areas and schemes promoted through local surface water management plans to provide protection from flooding; and biodiversity and amenity improvements. f) Ensure development proposals respond to land characteristics to minimise risks of erosion, subsidence and instability, and to exploit opportunities for reclamation and reinstatement of contaminated land. (PC6.81) B. Design and Layout of Development In order to ensure development contributes toward reducing carbon emissions and are resilient to the effects of climate change, schemes should where necessary or appropriate (PC4.31): a) Improve energy efficiency and minimise energy consumption through the orientation, layout and design of buildings and incorporation of facilities to support recycling; b) Incorporate sustainable design and construction techniques, including for example, solar water heating storage, green roofs and re-use and recycling of secondary aggregates and other building materials, and use of locally sourced materials; c) Incorporate water-efficient design and sustainable drainage systems which promote groundwater recharge; d) Protect, enhance and create habitats to both improve biodiversity resilience to climate change and utilise biodiversity to contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation; e) Include tree planting, and new woodlands and hedgerows in landscaping schemes to create habitats, reduce the ‘urban heat island effect’ and to offset carbon loss; f) Minimise traffic growth by providing a range of sustainable travel options (including walking, cycling and public transport) through Travel Plans and Transport Assessments and facilitate advances in travel technology such as Electric Vehicle charging points (PC6.82) g) Make provision for cycle lanes and cycling facilities, safe pedestrian routes and improved public transport facilities; and - 102 -
Selby District Submission Draft Core Strategy – May 2011 _________________________________________________________________ h) Incorporate decentralised, renewable and low-carbon forms of energy generation (in line with Policy CP13 and Policy CP14). Improving Resource Efficiency and Renewable Energy National Context 7.35 National Planning Guidance in PPS22 (Renewable Energy), the Companion Guide to PPS1, and PPS1 (Delivering Sustainable Development) establish the requirement to; reduce energy use; promote water efficiency; reduce emissions, promote renewable energy use and increase development of renewable energy. 7.36 Most recently, The 2009 UK Renewable Energy Strategy and The UK Low Carbon Transition Plan 2009 explicitly require the planning system to support carbon reduction, and secure energy generation from renewable sources. This includes energy generated from dedicated biomass fuelled power stations, co-firing with coal and clean coal technologies. 7.37 From 2016 all new homes are intended to be zero carbon and new nondomestic buildings should be zero carbon from 2019. More demanding mandatory requirements for new homes to meet the ‘Code for Sustainable Homes’ standards are also being introduced alongside the development of standards such as BREEAM ratings for commercial buildings 8 . These proposals will be supported by planned changes in the Building Regulations. Relevant Strategic Objective 12, 15, 16 and 17 Local Context 7.38 Planning permissions have been granted for a number of renewable energy schemes including wind turbines and energy from waste, some of which are already operational. For example Rusholme Windfarm has capacity to generate 24 MW of electricity and the Selby Renewable Energy Park could produce up to 6 MW when fully functioning. 7.39 Recovering energy from waste adds value before final disposal (after other opportunities for recycling or composting have been explored). The North Yorkshire County Council, as Waste Disposal Authority would deal with any planning applications for energy from waste schemes. Developments would be considered against the saved policies in the Waste Local Plan until such time as they are replaced by the emerging 8 See Background Paper 8 Climate Change and Sustainable Development, for further information on the Code and BREEAM - 103 -
