Policy CC/N2 – Net Zero Carbon New Buildings (P145) and Policy CC/DC – Designing for a Challenging Environment (P152)

These policies seek to set the amount of energy use that will be allowed in new development and to ensure that all new dwellings must be designed to achieve a low risk of overheating.

Croudace Homes support such initiatives. They are already developing to the standard of New Homes and fully intended to deliver housing at Fowlmere, were it to come forward, to the highest building and sustainability standards.

These and the other environmental policies demonstrate that development should not be promoted on the basis of transport links alone, but rather wider regard has to be had to the scope of the site for development of the highest sustainability standards in terms of energy consumption, access to renewable and sensitivity to, and ability to work with, the immediate environment.
