Please include reference to Nabers rating << this would be within the Passive design and Energy Efficiency rating section, and likely be Gold standard.
BREEAM is an entire building standard, so it seems strange to throw it in the passive design section. If the council is minded to include reference to BREEAM, I'd advise that Very Good, Excellent and Outstanding are all included to be consistent. However, many of the BREEAM principles are covered throughout this SPD... therefore it could be an unnecessary burden for developments.
I've the same objections about the Waste, WLC and Passive design principles not being stretching enough
