4.
iv.
Provide at least 15% of energy from renewable and/or low carbon sources for
all major housing developments and non-residential developments of
1000sqm or more.
v.
Supply energy efficiently and give priority to decentralised and/or district
energy supply.
vi.
For all major developments, implement a recognised quality regime that
ensures the 'as built' performance (energy use, carbon emissions, indoor air
quality, and overheating risk) matches the calculated design performance of
dwellings as specified above.
vii.
Source low carbon and sustainably sourced building materials wherever
possible, e.g. secondary aggregates, recycled products and FSC certified
timber.
viii.
For residential development of new dwellings: provide at least one charging
point for electric vehicles per dwelling. For non-residential development, 1
charging point will be provided per 10 parking spaces. On development sites
without allocated parking, a contribution will be made to the Council’s
Charging Infrastructure Fund and/or provision to be made through a
commercial rapid charging point.
In order that development proposals are adaptive and resilient to climate change,
measures will include:
i.
Flood prevention and mitigation measures, including (SUDS); and water
efficiency measures as set out in Policy P11.
ii.
Layout (including orientation) and design that enhances natural ventilation
and lighting, and minimises the need for energy for heating and cooling, such
as Passivhaus.
iii.
Integrated green infrastructure, such as SUDs, green spaces and corridors,
retaining and planting trees, green roofs & walls, landscaping and rain
gardens.
Renewable and low carbon energy and carbon offsetting schemes

Planning permission will be granted for renewable or low carbon energy
developments, and carbon offsetting schemes, provided that they:
i.
Do not cause demonstrable harm to residential amenity or established
commercial operations;
ii.
Avoid or minimise impacts on the historic environment;
iii.
Can demonstrate no adverse effect on the natural environment including
designated sites;
iv.
Do not have an unacceptable visual impact which would be harmful to its
setting;
v.
Will not have a detrimental impact on highway safety.
