Representation Summary:
Policy CC2 – Energy Infrastructure
This policy requires major development sites to include opportunities for decentralised energy provision site – subject to viability and practicality. Savills has worked on numerous strategic residential schemes where this approach has been suggested at the policy making stage. However, to date we have not found any examples that have been delivered viably by house builders. Further clarity is sought from the Council on the practicality of delivering decentralized energy provision on sites in conjunction with other policy requirements proposed.
