Issue DM4: Question 16
We are in general agreement with the approach set out in the suggested option. We welcome the requirement for a minimum Code Level 4 rating, but this could also go further to require increasing ratings in line with the Government aspiration for zero carbon development by 2016. We are pleased to see a BREEAM rating of 'Excellent' for non-residential development.
We welcome all of the measures set out in parts 1-7. We are particularly interested in the water efficiency requirements and reference to your Water Cycle Study should be made and might allow more detailed requirements to be set. We would also recommend that you refer to our Thames Gateway Environmental Standards for further advice on other issues.
