  R1.29

  Domestic renewable energy proposals must demonstrate that they have followed the guidance from Historic England.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R1.29

• Policy

  R1.30

  Large scale commercial renewable energy schemes must demonstrate their compliance with Historic England’s HEAN 15 guidance.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R1.30

• Policy

  R1.31

  All new medium or large sized developments of greater than 250 homes should consider the potential to develop a local community energy network like district heating. Where this is not possible, suitable justification must be provided.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R1.31

• Policy

  R1.32

  Where neighbourhood renewable energy proposals are proposed, engagement should be undertaken with the local District Network Operator to understand any capacity implications on the energy network.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R1.32

• Policy

  R2.1

  All new buildings should demonstrate no net increase in energy use within the district. New developments are encouraged to exceed the recommendations of the Building Regulations Approved Documents Part L and seek to be carbon neutral.

  • Reference: R2.1

• Policy

  R2.2

  The following targets should aim to be achieved for embodied carbon (kg co2/m2) for residential building type:

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R2.2

• Policy

  R2.3

  Whole life cycle carbon assessment should incorporate a thorough consideration of emissions associated with construction, including embodied carbon.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R2.3

• Policy

  R2.4

  Where appropriate choose materials with lower embodied carbon such as glue laminated timber rather than high embodied carbon materials like steel.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R2.4

• Policy

  R2.5

  Where possible, developments should use locally sourced, innovative and recycled materials to reduce emissions associated with transport of materials, e.g hemp.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R2.5

• Policy

  R2.6

  Buildings should be designed with a minimum lifespan to reduce embodied carbon over the long term - e.g. We could look to enforce a 100 year period.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: R2.6
