Respondent: Ella Hyde

BMDC has a target to be net zero on carbon emissions by 2038 and the aim of making significant progress on this by 2030. These policies do not apply to existing developments, so, we can only assume that the highest standards in energy efficiency will need to be applied to achieve those targets. Will BDMC be able to apply such standards immediately as a priority - even in advance of finalising these policies and the target date of 2024/2025, given that large developments are already proposed and we have net zero target dates which are fast approaching? Why not consider existing housing stock in these policies for retro-fitting? Retro-fitting renewable energy systems on existing housing stock and public buildings, will potentially reduce dependence of new developments on fossil fuels.

Respondent: Persimmon Homes (West Yorkshire)

Agent: Lichfields

References in Policy EN10 to providing site wide heating and cooling systems ‘where reasonable and practical’ is welcomed in recognition of the practicalities of providing such systems depending on site size and other site-specific characteristics. Reference within the policy to the requirements for developments to connect to wider district heating and cooling networks for energy supply and export, and the achievement of zero net-carbon emissions and Future Homes Standard by 2025, should also make provision for such systems and achievements to be achieved where this is practical and viable to ensure that unduly onerous requirements do not have the potential to undermine otherwise successful and sustainable schemes.

Respondent: Historic England

Whilst we fully support the requirement that applicants fully appraise the environmental impacts of major new energy infrastructure proposals, it needs to be made clear in the supporting text that this also includes consideration of potential impacts on the historic environment. Paragraph 4.34.31, amend third sentence to read:
‘Policy EN10 therefore requires that applicants fully appraise the environmental impacts (including those on the historic environment) and identify any mitigation
measures to be incorporated into the proposal.’
We welcome the requirement for energy infrastructure
proposals to be supported by a full appraisal of the
potential environmental impacts and identify appropriate
mitigation measures. However, we consider it necessary to highlight in the supporting text to the Policy EN10 that this appraisal should also include consideration of the historic environment.

We support the requirement in Criterion E.5 for all proposals for renewable and low carbon generation to include a full assessment of the environmental, economic and social impacts, including cumulative landscape and visual impacts. Given the character of the plan area, such proposals could harm elements which contribute to the distinctive character of the District.
