Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 59093

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Great Shelford Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Great Shelford Parish Council has a concern that the Planning Authority cannot guarantee this and would welcome comment on how this will be enforced.

Great Shelford Parish Council would expect every new building to be built to net zero standards, for example with solar panels and either ground or air source heat pumps. Not just built to the minimum planning standards of the day (currently 10% renewable). With such a major project, we should be aiming for 22nd century building standards, not early 21st century needs.
