Emerging Policy DM1 part a. seeks that all new build residential developments achieve a minimum of Level 4 for the Code for Sustainable Homes standard or equivalent. Whilst we in part support the principle of this emerging policy and welcome the removal of the onerous requirement to achieve Code Level 5 and 6 [in adopted policy DM1], we query whether seeking Code Level 4 on all development sites, we query the need for the Council to include such a policy given the Code requirements are dictated by Building Regulations.
