Policy P9 ‘Mitigating and Adapting to Climate Change’ sets out an expectation that development within the Town Centre should contribute towards “existing or planned district energy and/ or heat networks”.
Given the pace of change within the sustainable energy sector, IM would suggest that to ensure this policy is future-proofed over the life of the Plan period, text should be added to the end of clause (2iv) that reads “or other suitable sustainable/ low carbon energy solution”. This would support the ambitions of the Government, as set out within the NPPF (paras 149 – 151).
