Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 57769
Received: 11/12/2021
Respondent: Carbon Neutral Cambridge
We strongly support ambitious policies to mitigate and adapt to climate change. We would like Greater Cambridge Planning service to become a UK leader in ambitious policy and enforcement
Although we recognise that the Local Plan is mainly focussed on newbuild, rather that retrofit, we would like to see measures adopted to make it easier for home owners to upgrade the energy efficiency of existing homes. For example, by eliminating the need to get planning permission to install rendered external wall insulation or PV panels (unless this was essential to preserve important heritage aspects)
