Representation Summary:

Objections about not being stretching enough, the inclusion of BREEAM and Nabers.

Full text:

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

Representation Summary:

The references to a requirement for a 12m buffer around designated sites appears to be applicable to all grades on the biodiversity checklist (page 28). However in Appendices A (major residential applications) and C (major non-residential applications) this is applicable to grades Silver and Gold only.
It is recommended these measures are consistent throughout the document.
