The following matters will be considered in responding to climate change: • The location of the site has excellent public transport connections reducing the reliance of private transport • Environmentally responsible methods of construction and a palette of sustainable, locally sourced materials will be chosen wherever possible, in pursuing a design that is energy efficient and environmentally conscious. • Materials will be selected from local sources wherever possible to minimise transport energy use and help sustain the local economy. • Low carbon lighting, triple glazing and improved insulation will be incorporated into the scheme. • Where possible, the orientation of the plot will ensure the optimum plots orientation for solar gain. • Conservation where possible of onsite natural resources will also be considered such as retaining of the existing trees and hedgerows. • New planting will be provided to compensate for any loss of onsite ecological features. • Potential for new dwellings to accommodate Electric Vehicle Charging Points • Each dwelling will be afforded dedicated bin and recycle bin storage to ensure future owners/occupiers would be encouraged to manage their waste in a sustainable manner. • Potential sources of renewable energy can be incorporate into the scheme, such as Solar and Ground Source Heat Pumps • Development will be subject to Sustainable Urban Drainage Scheme to address the impacts of any surface water flooding. The introduction of these measures is thought to encourage a highly sustainable design aligning with the government’s commitment to address climate change in new developments

The site is located on land West of Pavenham Road on the outskirts of the village of Oakley. Access will be provided via Pavenham Road, a single carriageway of about 6m width with narrow footway next to the site. Pavenham Road normally carries light traffic. The footpath is quite narrow and not of the best quality.There is no cycle path in the vicinity and the closest bus stop is 150m away from the site entrance, serving bus line 25, at less than once per hour frequency. Cycle connection improvements would be recommended as well as improvement of the pedestrian facilities, such as widening and improving the quality of the footpath.
