WTC12 - Decentralised Energy Network
In order to ensure proposals in the Walthamstow Town Centre minimise carbon emissions, we will:
- Require all developments of one or more homes or greater than 100 s.qm to be accompanied by an energy assessment that demonstrates:
- How the resource efficiency, carbon reduction targets and high environmental standards set out in Policy DM11 will be met; and
- How the proposal will connect to the planned Decentralised Energy Network for the Upper Lee Valley (unless this can be demonstrated to be unfeasible or unviable). Where schemes come forward in advance of any Decentralised Energy Network, they should be designed to be ‘connection ready’.
