Representation Summary:
Para 308- energy standard Band C is acceptable for older properties but inadequate for new homes which need to be Band A or higher.
Para 313- There are often economic cases for using open space for PV cells. For example, land may be unviable for agricultural usage.
Para 314- why proposals for low carbon design are only ‘given substantial weight’? Energy performance should be required from developers.
Para 315- stronger commitment required as merely “giving consideration” will not address climate commitments.
Para 319- the Council’s Climate Change SPD does not exist.
