It is not considered that the draft Policy, in its current state, is effective in accordance with Paragraph 36 c) of the NPPF. The current definition of ‘major’ development means that it will not be realistic to expect the majority of such applications to demonstrate the use of decentralised energy systems. The Councils will need to ensure that any Policy at Regulation 19 stage evidences the feasibility of decentralised energy systems for development and expectations in relation to the scale of development. Any approach should be viability tested.

Most of these installations don't work in our climate, and much of the housing stock is not suitable. Just read the chat groups on new housing estates with air hear source devices to understand the problems these householders face.

The Draft Policy advocates for the integration of decentralised energy systems in new developments, including the use of renewable energy sources. This approach aligns with the NPPF, which supports the transition to a low-carbon future by encouraging local planning policies that promote renewable and low carbon energy infrastructure.

The policy should allow for sufficient flexibility and adopt a positively worded, supportive position to encourage the use of decentralised energy systems. It is considered that introducing a requirement for each major development could potentially lead to conflicting material considerations or implications on the overall viability of the scheme.

(Connected to previous question)
There is a strong practical case for provision of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (as being developed by Rolls Royce).
Require no carbon-based fuels. No blots on the landscape (AKA Wind FARMS!). No converting agricultural land into solar FARMS.
Carbon fuels - e.g. crude oil - still required for chemical feedstock ... to manufacture e.g. plastic bags!
So we would still be assailed by "Just Stop Oil" lunatic fringe.

Community energy schemes can be problematic because they fail to take into account individuals' needs and circumstances. they are likely (in my view) to be discriminatory and/or cause discriminatory conduct and to reduce privacy. People need to be able to, for example, heat or cool their own homes, without reliance on anyone else and without being shamed if, for example, when ill and/or when a vulnerable person is visiting or staying, they use 'more' than others and/or 'more' than others expect them to. There have already been news articles where landlords have caused issues when deciding on the 'correct temperature'.

Renewable and sustainable (not sure there is a difference) are by their nature intermittent - e.g. a still (or very windy) day.
Tidal power is predictable and peaks twice/day..
What is needed is a nationally planned base-energy provision and distribution system which means the grid is never close to overload.
This must be designed (!), planned(!) and realised nationally; decentralisation of such facility is fraught with problems - like localised outages.

There may be discrete opportunities for heat networks where there are opportunities around an existing low carbon heat course, or sufficient density, for example large scale blocks of flats.

It is considered unlikely that the reduced energy demand of new development is unlikely to provide sufficient heat demand for a low carbon heat network to be feasible or viable for low destiny development. It is recommended the Council give further consideration to the technical feasibility of heat networks and costs as part of the next stage of Plan preparation to ensure any proposals are feasible and viable.
