Respondent: Southend Borough Council - 2050 Safe and Well
Yes – the Local Plan must signal the importance of addressing the challenges posed by future climate change and require developers to play their part in meeting these challenges.
If there is to be a new settlement then this should aim to be energy self-sufficient through the use of renewables and potentially a local heat network.
Other new development should also seek to be energy self-sufficient through renewables to reduce the impact on the already challenged energy distribution network.
