Policy CC/NZ sets the levels of energy use that will be allowed for new development, how renewable energy should be used to meet that energy need and how whole-life carbon emissions should be taken into account. Whilst the Church Commissioners for England fully support the Councils’ overarching climate change aspirations, in accordance with paragraph 16 of the NPPF, Plans need to be aspirational but also deliverable. The emissions targets as set out within the policy are considered to be extremely ambitious, aiming for London Energy Transformation Initiative (“LETI”) targets. The Council should ensure that the use of such targets outside of London is evidenced and achievable.
