At the Executive meeting 9th July 2019 Ipswich Borough Council Declared a Climate Emergency and will begin working to become carbon neutral by 2030. This commitment will clearly impact on the CS and needs to be referenced here and in relation to other relevant policies e.g. DM1 and DM2 for the CS to be sound. This would be consistent with the Court of Appeal’s ruling on 27/02/20 that the government's Heathrow's expansion decision was unlawful because it did not take climate commitments into account.
Needs to reference climate emergency declaration.

This policy should apply to all new build and not just 10+ residential or 1000sqm + commercial. A 15% target is unlikely to be lawful under the net zero 2050 national objective and should be increased. It also fails to take into account national policy on prohibiting gas boilers after 2025. Extensions to residential property (including permitted development) will need to be compliant. The policy should make it clear that permission will be refused unless it is compliant.
Policy should apply to all new build and not just 10+ residential or 1000sqm + commercial. % needs to be higher than 15%.
