Hi all,
We have a policy which requires 10% of a development's predicted energy needs to be met from renewabe/low carbon sources unless it is not viable or feasible to do so. However, this is increasingly being challenged by developers who would prefer to take a fabric first approach. So far we have resisted this, but I wondered whether others have been more flexible? And if so, how does this fit with the Housing Standards Review/NPPF, and what evidence do you ask for in terms of comparing the benefits against a 10% energy approach?
Many thanks in advance for any help,
Emma
