The fact that the policy does not make this obligatory and is simply encouraging of the use and development of such systems, with regard given to viability considerations, is supported, as it means that the policy will not risk undermining the effectiveness and deliverability of the plan, where it is not possible for a scheme to comply with this.
The draft policy states that developments will be required to demonstrate a ‘thermal master planning approach’ to maximise energy efficiency opportunities. Clarity should be provided as to what this means for developers, and there should be a clear justification for including this within the policy.
The building performance standards which Energy Statements will need to demonstrate are met should not exceed the requirements of the national Building Regulations.
