2 Issues and Options consultation<br />
Sustainability<br />
Option 8 A -<br />
Sustainable<br />
Design and<br />
Construction<br />
<strong>Statement</strong>s<br />
Some objections form developers<br />
to SDCSs and Energy <strong>Statement</strong>s<br />
for minor applications. Some<br />
support for a threshold<br />
GLA support SDCSs and Energy<br />
<strong>Statement</strong>s but suggest flexibility<br />
over level of detail<br />
The Direction of Travel policy excludes a<br />
range of the least significant applications, but<br />
most minor applications are still included.<br />
The level of detail can be proportionate to the<br />
scheme and the SDCS may be included in<br />
the Design and Access <strong>Statement</strong>. An Energy<br />
<strong>Statement</strong> is only required 'where relevant'.<br />
Further details, including on information<br />
requirements, will be set out in the<br />
Sustainable Design SPD.<br />
Option 8 B -<br />
Carbon<br />
targets<br />
English Heritage and the<br />
Canonbury Society were concerned<br />
with heritage impacts from carbon<br />
targets, including householder<br />
extensions.<br />
Land Securities called for different<br />
targets for heritage assets and for<br />
minor applications<br />
Some developers raised concerns<br />
over viability and/or called for<br />
viability and technical evidence.<br />
Land Securities stated the Building<br />
Regulations are sufficient. A flexible<br />
approach was preferred by some.<br />
Policies exist in relation to heritage assets.<br />
DM officers will use professional judgement<br />
to assess the relationship between these<br />
policies in each case.<br />
Requirements for the existing building, in the<br />
case of extensions, are limited to an<br />
encouragement for energy efficiency<br />
measures.<br />
Detailed viability evidence has been produced<br />
and was available for the Direction of Travel<br />
consultation.<br />
Option 8 C,<br />
D, E -<br />
Decentralised<br />
Energy<br />
Land Securities objected to<br />
different targets close to existing<br />
networks. Future proofing for new<br />
networks. Higher carbon targets<br />
where connecting to DEN could<br />
discourage connection.Workspace<br />
objected to rigid targets for<br />
connection due to viability issues.<br />
GLA - ability to connect should be<br />
considered on a case by case<br />
basis. Suggest sites should explore<br />
The Direction of Travel policy set out detailed<br />
criteria for when connection to a DEN would<br />
be required; however, in order to allow for<br />
flexibility it also set out feasibility criteria and<br />
a requirement for a preferred and alternative<br />
energy strategy.<br />
Where connection to a DEN is considered<br />
feasible higher Carbon targets are required<br />
because the cost of this is less and this is<br />
therefore consider viable.<br />
