LP 55: Sustainable Construction.
Development proposals will be required to meet climate change objectives and achieve a high standard of environmental sustainability. This will be achieved by the following:
- All major new dwellings will be encouraged to contribute towards the target of net zero carbon for regulated emissions, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not viable.
- All new dwellings shall meet the water efficiency standard of 110 litres/person/day.
- All non-residential development and non-C3 residential development of 500m2 (gross external area) or above will meet BREEAM ‘excellent’ or equivalent standard, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not viable. In such cases, development will meet BREEAM ‘very good’ standard.
