Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008
Box 31 - Preferred Strategy for Sustainable Resource Management (Option 1)
Representation ID: 20432
Received: 30/01/2009
Respondent: BWEA
While building regulations will be strengthened over the next decade, BWEA recommend the inclusion of a discrete policy on sustainable design and construction methods, and the introduction of minimum efficiency standards for extensions, change of use conversions, and refurbishments / listed building restorations. Such a policy would help ensure increases in energy efficiency within the existing building stock, as well as in new build development. BWEA recommend looking at the Renewable Energy Toolkit for planners, developers and consultants, developed by the London Energy Partnership for further guidance.

In addition, BWEA recommend that the development plan provide a brief outline of the different renewable energy generation technologies, and equally encourage and promote all forms of renewable energy (solar, biomass, wind, geothermal, hydro etc). The potential for an Energy Services Company and site-wide CHP should also be considered for inclusion.
