Whilst there is no national standard for the production of Energy & Sustainability Statements – the Greater London Authority (GLA) has introduced The London Plan and its Policy 5.2 n Plan requires each major development proposal to submit a detailed energy assessment.
The purpose of an energy assessment is to demonstrate that climate change mitigation measures are integral to the scheme’s design and evolution, and that they are appropriate to the context of the development.
The GLA provides guidance for developers and their advisers on preparing energy assessments to accompany strategic planning applications. Each assessment is required to demonstrate how the targets for regulated CO₂ emission reductions will be met using the Mayor’s energy hierarchy – which has applied a 35 per cent carbon reduction target beyond Part L 2013 of the Building Regulations.
