11.31 Policy CC1 identifies the proposals for development will need to demonstrate how they have been designed to maximise resistance and resilience to climate change through addressing a number of specified requirements. These include:
· Being orientated to maximise natural heating and ventilation;
· Including a range of sustainable land low carbon transport modes as alternatives to private car use;
· Use of trees and other planting to provide for shading, air quality mitigation and connection of fragmented habitats;
· Utilising a mix of native tree species and plants;
· Minimising surface run-off; and
· Incorporate mitigation and resilience measures to reduce the risk of river and surface water flooding.
11.32 Taylor Wimpey supports the principles set out in Policy CC1 as being an appropriate response to climate change.
