The conditions stated below are in addition to our objections and do not in any way supersede our objections:

– Condition 7 (Whole Life Carbon – Updated Review) to be amended to establish a requirement for the construction carbon emissions of the project to be more than halved to meet LETI recommended targets.

– Condition 10 (Energy Strategy) to be amended to include a requirement for Shower Waste Water Heat Recovery, in the interest of reducing running costs to residents and carbon emissions.

– Condition 24 (Cycle Parking Provision) amended to include that all access routes to basement bicycle storage rooms to be via motorised doors to maximise ease of use.

– Condition 27 (Overheating mitigation) to be amended to specially confirm that supplementary cooling to only be implemented where all passive measures are installed (including external blinds) and comfort conditions can still not be achieved. Operational cost of cooling to be shared equally across all residents.

– Condition 37 (Green/Brown Biodiversity Roofs) to be extended to include the maximisation of ‘blue roof’ attenuation systems, avoiding carbon intensive excavation and construction of underground attenuation tanks.
