Respondent: Shipley Town Council

This policy is welcome but there are areas where it can be strengthened to ensure that delivering zero carbon emissions by 2038 is achieved.

Policy wording from the Merton Local Plan re sustainable design (see attached document) is advocated.

All new developments should meet zero carbon standards, not just those of 50+ homes as required by the policy.

There is nothing specific in EN10 on heating. Proposed heat supply policy wording is provided (see attached document).

The plan should also include a policy that states:
● Houses should not be being built that lock homeowners into the gas network for heating.
