Re. Renewable energy. Energy and sustainable issues should not stifle regeneration and development. Such initiative are often a cost to developers. Specific policy requirements could make some schemes unviable and housing sites may not come forward.

Where difficult sites are being regenerated and the cost are significant, other issues may be more important. The viability of delivering schemes must be a priority. Sustainability and renewable energy requirements should be considered on a site by site basis.
