Representation Summary:

The lowering of the thresholds at which a comprehensive energy strategy is required is objected to, in particular reducing the residential threshold from 100 houses to 10 houses.

Reducing the residential threshold to only 10 dwellings will place an unreasonable additional burden on smaller sites and will act as a disincentive for land owners/developers to bring their land forward for housing, at a time when the Government's primary objective for planning is to signifcantly increase the delivery of housing (especially affordable housing).
