Energy efficiency and renewable technologies in residential extensions
The Council encourages residential extension and alteration proposals that incorporate energy efficiency measures, microgeneration equipment, and renewable technologies. Designers should consider Policy ENV3 and may reference best practice guides such as BREEAM.
In promoting good design for residential extensions and alterations, the Council will encourage proposals which embrace energy efficiency and which satisfactorily incorporate microgeneration equipment and other renewable technologies. Consideration should be given to Policy ENV3 and best practice guides relating to these matters may be useful in preparing proposals for extending or altering a residential property, for example, the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM).
