DM22: Decentralised Energy
- Subject to other policy requirements, proposals that contribute to the provision and use of Decentralised Energy network infrastructure will be supported.
Communal energy systems
- All development that incorporates site-wide communal energy systems should examine opportunities for extending such systems, irrespective of whether it is connected to a DE network.
- All development that incorporates site-wide communal energy systems should optimise opportunities for extending such systems beyond the site boundary to supply energy to neighbouring existing and planned future developments.
Existing and planned future DE networks
- All development proposals should prioritise connection to existing or planned future DE networks.
- All major development located within 500 metres of an existing DE Network, and minor new-build development located within 25 metres, will be expected to secure connection to that network subject to demonstration of technical feasibility and financial viability.
- All major development located within 500 metres of a planned future DE Network, which is considered by the Council likely to be operational within 3 years of a grant of planning permission, will be expected to secure connection to that network subject to demonstration of technical feasibility and financial viability.
DE network ‘connection zones’
- All major development located within 500 metres of a DE network ‘connection zone’ should be designed for connection to a DE network.
- All minor new-build development located within 25 metres of a DE network ‘connection zone’ should be designed for connection to a DE network.
Customer charters
- Where site-wide communal and district heating systems are operational, the Council will strongly encourage heat and energy service providers to enter into customer charters with domestic and micro-business customers.
