There is no excuse for new developments not incorporating multiple renewable energy features. Ground source heat pumps, solar energy are a must together with the best possible insulation and energy reuse.

Essex County Council would seek reference to Policy S4 - Reducing the use of mineral resources (Page 39), as contained in the Replacement Minerals Local Plan, Pre Submission Draft, January 2013, which seeks to increase the rate of aggregate re use and recycling in Essex, partly through maximising the recovery of minerals through construction and demolition .

Whilst the underlying objectives of this policy are supported greater consideration needs to be given to the fact that incorporation of sustainable construction and technologies, within a scheme can significantly increase the cost of new development and can therefore in some instances threaten viability. Greater flexibility needs to be given in the policy and the third paragraph reworded as per attachment.

Whilst the objectives underlying this draft policy are to be welcomed, greater recognition needs to be given to the fact that the incorporation of sustainable construction and renewable energy technologies, within a scheme, can significantly increase the cost of new development and can, therefore, in certain instances, threaten viability. Greater flexibility needs to be built into the policy, with the third paragraph being reworded as follows:-
Where development viability is compromised by these standards, the developer/applicant will need to provide evidence as to why the targets cannot be met (either in their entirety or in part).

Whilst the objectives underlying this draft Policy are to be welcomed, greater recognition needs to be given to the fact that the incorporation of sustainable construction and renewable energy technologies, with a scheme, can significantly increase the cost of new development and can, therefore, in certain instances,
threaten viability. Accordingly, greater flexibility needs to be built into the policy, with the third paragraph being reworded as follows:-

Hansteen supports the broad thrust of what the policy is trying to achieve. The open-ended nature of "allowable solutions contributions" makes it impossible to express a view upon this. Clarification is sought.

Support the policy in principle, but would like to draw to the Council's attention the Housing Standards Review and Government proposal to wind down the Code for Sustainable Homes. The Council should keep the Government's intentions in mind and allow sufficient flexibility in the policy to achieve this.

We note that the Council expects all development to achieve a minimum of Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3. The Plan states that the Brentwood Scoping and Outline Water Cycle Study (2011) identifies the Borough as lying within an area of Serious Water Stress. Due to water pressures in the region we consider it is particularly important that water efficiency measures are incorporated into new developments.

In regard to Policy CP14 (b) Anglian Water would suggest sustainable drainage should be applied on every development to its maximum potential and would therefore amend the policy so that the section ("particularly in critical drainage areas") is removed.
