Yes, insofar as it relates to electricity generation.
Experience with an application for a bio-digestion, (claimed to be producing renewable energy, gas) leads to the recommendation for wording of D to be more explicit. Furthermore for biomass an application should only be submitted and validated once the proposal has been assessed and confirmed as a renewable [gas] production facility by a suitable independent body eg the renewable accreditation body. This ensures that:
1 Considerable time is not wasted assessing the proposal against planning policy criteria
2 the LPA can justify any carbon reduction claims without further examination and cost

yes – with the exception of it supporting energy generation from natural gas. Surely if the long term goal is for all new dwellings to be heated by heat pumps because of the lower carbon impact, this suggestion of using gas to generate heat is counter-intuitive. Might this conflict with DPD22 part A?

In paragraph next steps there is justification for adopting more rigorous targets. Why hasn’t this been done?
Other observations:
1 Part A Criteria 3 offer a specific improvement in airtightness as done in Criteria 1 with the minimum 63% reduction in carbon emissions
1 Part A Criteria 7 refers to non-domestic buildings. Typo??
3 Part B Criteria 1 set the quantifiable reduction based on 2021 Building Regulations rather than leaving it to a developer to show the reduction is equivalent to a specific number against a different set of Regulations?
4 Part B Criteria 2 why has VVT been excluded?

Yes
