CC2 ENSURING SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
The council will require the implementation of sustainable design and construction measures in all major developments by:
- implementing the London Plan sustainable design and construction policies to ensure developments incorporate sustainability measures, including:
- minimising energy use;
- making the most effective use of resources such as water and aggregates;
- sourcing building materials sustainably;
- using prefabrication construction methods where appropriate;
- reducing pollution and waste;
- promoting recycling and conserving and promoting biodiversity and the natural environment;
- ensuring developments are comfortable and secure for users and avoiding impacts from natural hazards (including flooding); and
- Requiring Sustainability Statements (or equivalent assessments such as BREEAM) for all major developments to ensure the full range of sustainability issues has been taken into account during the design stage.
The integration of sustainable design and construction measures will be encouraged in all other (i.e. non-major) developments, where feasible.
