Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Sustainable Design Statement
1. Please provide a sustainable design statement.
INFORMATIVE
The statement should provide a proportionate level of information or commentary to demonstrate how the design has positively addressed the sustainable design principles set out in Policy 38D in the City Plan 2019-2040. This should include design implications arising from related policy in particular Policy 34B (urban greening), Policy 36 (Energy) and Policy 39 (Heritage). It should set out how consideration has been given to the energy hierarchy and cross reference other relevant documents including the BREEAM assessment, SuDs strategy, energy strategy, heritage statement and water calculations where provided and relevant. Any proposal involving demolition of a building should include a statement setting out why it is not possible to retain and improve the existing building in line with Policy 38, cross referencing the whole life cycle carbon analysis where required.
Where heritage assets are affected, this should cross reference the Heritage Statement. If incorporated within the Design and Access Statement, it should be a distinct and clearly identified separate section.
