New Local Plan

Representation ID: 3542

Received: 31/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Jeremy Martin

Representation Summary:

The town should invest in a heat network supported by a waste to energy plant to provide low carbon heat and electricity. New developments should connect to the heat network either as a generating node or as a user of heat and electricity or as both.

Biomass should be used tactically but not as a wholesale form of heat due to AQ considerations. New developments should have pre-wiring installed between properties and car park spaces but the chargers should be left for the householder to install based on the existing wiring. All properties should have additional capacity within wiring installations to facilitate EV charging together with pre-wiring for batteries to provide services to the local and national grids.
