Trinity College supports the policy requirement to maximise energy efficiency and renewable energy generation, subject to viability.
Concern in criterion (iv) for developments to North East Bexhill, to include Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and/or wind energy, pre-judges the outcome of the comprehensive energy strategy required by criterion (i) of the Policy to support any planning application for the area.
Clear evidence is required to demonstrate that a CHP system and/or wind energy generation is both technically feasible and financially viable if it is to remain as a Policy requirement. Trinity College has not yet commissioned any such work.
