The planning system needs to support the delivery of the timetable for reducing carbon emissions from domestic and non domestic buildings, & planning authorities are expected to actively encourage smaller scale renewable energy schemes through positively expressed policies in local development documents, as stated in PPS22. Alongside criteria-based policy developed in line with PPS22, the Climate Change Supplement to PPS1 recommends identifiying suitable areas for renewable & low carbon energy sources, and supporting infrastructure, where this would help secure the development. BWEA empahsises the contribution that small renewable systems can make, & strongly urges the Council to implement a policy for mandatory requirement of onsite renewables. Such policy would require onsite renewables to provide electricity for at least 10% of all new buildings needs (including refurbishments), in addition to stringent energy efficiency/building performance requirements.

In accordance with the Climate Change Supplement to PPS1, planning authorities should have evidence-based understanding of the local feasibility and potential for renewable and low-carbon energy technologies, including microgeneration, to supply new development in their area. Drawing from this evidence-base, local authorities should:
1. Set out a target percentage of the energy to be used in new development to come from decentralised and renewable or low-carbon energy sources, where it is viable. The target should avoid prescription on technologies and be flexible in how carbon savings from local energy supplies are to be secured.
2. Where there are particular and demonstrable opportunities for greater use of decentralised and renewable or low-carbon energy that the target percentage, bring forward development areas or site-specific targets to secure this potential,
3. Set out the type and size of development to which the target will be applied; and
4. Ensure there is a clear rationale for the target and it is properly tested.
In addition, BWEA recommend that the development plan provide a brief outline of the different energy generation technologies, and equally encourage and promote all forms of renewable energy. The potential for an Energy Services Company and site side CHP should also be considered for inclusion.

SMPCT supports the principle that a proportion of a developments needs are met by renewable energy sources. It is important that, as recognised by the preferred approach, further evidence base work is undertaken and that the viability of providing renewable generation is affected by the development scale, in terms of numbers, type, location and design.

In terms of Environmental Sustainability & Design, we would like to see an aim that 100% of all new development should meet CABE 'Building for Life' standards & Code for Sustainable Homes level 6 standards to be zero-carbon rated.
