  To prepare for national future homes standards due to be implemented in 2025, all new homes are strongly encouraged to be ‘gas free’ such as through use of air source or ground source heat pumps or connection to a district heat network.

  R1.20

  Buildings should be designed to maximise the percentage of energy generated by renewable or low carbon sources.

  R1.21

  It is a building regulations requirement by 2025 that all new homes should use sustainable sources for heating, therefore all new developments should incorporate low carbon heat sources such as heat pumps and solar thermal.

  R1.23

  The integration of solar or photovoltaic panels into the envelope of the buildings should be well considered from the outset, avoiding bolton solutions.

  R1.24

  Where renewable heat sources and / or solar PVs are not provided, buildings must be designed to ensure that these could easily be provided in future to avoid costly alterations to buildings.

• Policy

  R1.25

  All rooftop areas above 10sqm should consider incorporating solar PV arrays for on-site renewable energy generation.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R1.25

• Policy

  R1.26

  As a minimum, buildings with a rooftop area of greater than 200sqm should include a solar PV array.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R1.26

• Policy

  R1.27

  Where solar PV arrays are provided on rooftops, these should utilise at least 50% of suitable rooftop space.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R1.27

• Policy

  R1.28

  Where energy needs cannot be met on plot (such as for taller buildings), equivalent renewable energy supply should be delivered elsewhere within the development or wider district.
