Issue details
Sustainable Construction Checklist Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) Review and Update of Energy Summary Tool 1 (WL)
Policy SCR6 of the LPPU sets out energy use standards that new residential development is required to meet. The Sustainable Construction Checklist SPD sets out the information that applicants are required to submit in order to demonstrate compliance with the energy use standards in the policy. It is proposed to amend the SPD to enable the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) to be used for applications for schemes of up to 25 dwellings (including a maximum of 9 flats). Currently SAP can only be used for minor applications of up to 9 dwellings, with the more complicated PHPP (Passivhaus) tool required for schemes of 10 dwellings or more. The proposed amendment to the SPD will be subject to public consultation.
