Southend Central Area Action Plan

Representation ID: 721

Received: 09/08/2010

Respondent: Renaissance Southend Ltd

Representation Summary:

As above; 10% is now too low and is being over-taken by BRs and other councils. Notwithstanding this, there will be only an 18 month gap between adoption of this DPD and zero carbon BRs so a higher target in the interim, with the current pace of new permissions may be considered superfluous. However, if a high target was wanted, 20% on-site renewable energy is very easily attainable using micro-generation technologies and Part L of current B. Regs.
