Issue DM4
It is acknowledged that a number of Local Authorities are seeking a percentage of onsite renewable energy generation in new development and. in principle, our client supports this approach. However, we consider that any such policy should incorporate an element of flexibility to allow for circumstances where it will not be viable, feasible or suitable 10 incorporate renewable energy equipment to reduce C02 emissions by a given percentage, or indeed for a development to be zero carbon.
Accordingly. Wm Morrison requests that any such policies on renewable energy includes text to confirm that the this will be subject to the tests of viability and suitability.
