Representation Summary:

POLICY CC1 – INCREASING EFFICIENCY AND RESILIENCE
The intention of Policy CC1 is recognised by WDH, who has adopted a holistic fabric-first approach in their house type design that seeks to reduce each dwelling’s inherent energy demand and aims to reduce energy waste and CO2 emissions by increasing energy efficiency. With that said, limb e of the policy requires developments to incorporate “grey water recycling and rainwater collection” where possible. Whilst that requirement is recognised, it should be made clear that the use of grey water recycling should only be applied where viable and appropriate.
