The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version environmental impact of construction 108 , including minimising emissions of dust and construction plant and vehicles emissions. The Mayor also encourages the use of the Demolition Protocol 109 developed by London Remade to support recycling and reuse of construction materials. POLICY 5.4 RETROFITTING Strategic A The environmental impact of existing urban areas should be reduced through policies and programmes that bring existing buildings up to the Mayor’s standards on sustainable design and construction. In particular, programmes should reduce carbon dioxide emissions, improve the efficiency of resource use (such as water) and minimise the generation of pollution and waste from existing building stock. LDF preparation B Within LDFs boroughs should develop policies and proposals regarding the sustainable retrofitting of existing buildings. In particular they should identify opportunities for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the existing building stock by identifying potential synergies between new developments and existing buildings through the retrofitting of energy efficiency measures, decentralised energy and renewable energy opportunities (see Policies 5.5 and 5.7). 5.29 Retrofitting buildings can make a significant contribution to the climate change and resource management aims of this Plan – for example, London’s existing domestic buildings contribute 36 per cent of the region’s carbon dioxide emissions alone. Along with other non-domestic buildings, retrofitting the existing building stock presents a significant opportunity to help meet the strategic carbon dioxide reduction target of 60 per cent by 2025. 5.30 Policy 5.4 applies the principles in Policy 5.3 to existing building stock where retrofit opportunities arise (for example, large estate refurbishments). The Mayor supports an integrated, multi-agency approach, to promote the retrofitting of existing buildings, and where possible policies and programmes supporting zero carbon development and deployment of decentralised energy should also be applied to existing buildings. The Mayor will support measures through the Building Regulations and other regulatory and funding mechanisms to improve the performance of London’s existing buildings, increase energy and water efficiency, and to make full use of technologies such as decentralised energy and renewable energy. 5.31 Further details regarding programmes for retrofitting can be found in the Mayor’s Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy and in the London Climate Change Adaptation Strategy. The London Housing Strategy also outlines actions to retrofit existing homes with an emphasis on increasing energy efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

POLICY 5.5 DECENTRALISED ENERGY NETWORKS Strategic A The Mayor expects 25 per cent of the heat and power used in London to be generated through the use of localised decentralised energy systems by 2025. In order to achieve this target the Mayor prioritises the development of decentralised heating and cooling networks at the development and area wide levels, including larger scale heat transmission networks. LDF preparation B Within LDFs boroughs should develop policies and proposals to identify and establish decentralised energy network opportunities. Boroughs may choose to develop this as a supplementary planning document and work jointly with neighbouring boroughs to realise wider decentralised energy network opportunities. As a minimum boroughs should: a identify and safeguard existing heating and cooling networks b identify opportunities for expanding existing networks and establishing new networks. Boroughs should use the London Heat Map tool and consider any new developments, planned major infrastructure works and energy supply opportunities which may arise c develop energy master plans for specific decentralised energy opportunities which identify: – major heat loads (including anchor heat loads, with particular reference to sites such as universities, hospitals and social housing) – major heat supply plant – possible opportunities to utilise energy from waste – possible heating and cooling network routes – implementation options for delivering feasible projects, considering issues of procurement, funding and risk and the role of the public sector d require developers to prioritise connection to existing or planned decentralised energy networks where feasible. 5.32 The Mayor supports the greater use of renewable and low carbon generation technologies, and has set a target for London to generate 25 per cent of its heat and power requirements through the use of local, decentralised energy (DE) systems by 2025. These will predominantly be based around the use of gas-fired combined heat and power (CHP), district heating and cooling in the first instance. DE generates power at point of use, making more efficient use of primary energy by utilising generated heat that would otherwise be wasted in large-scale thermal power generation plants. Renewable energy DE opportunities including the use of energy from waste and biomass schemes are also supported. Shifting 25 per 110 Three Regions Climate Change Group.
