Energy and carbon performance at this level will ensure the development reduces carbon emissions through the utilisation of the fabric first methodology in accordance with the latest national guidance and reflects the objectives of the current adopted Local Plan and emerging Local Plan Review.

Non-residential development will similarly be designed to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions beyond that of the Building Regulations, however specific measures and technologies will likely vary depending on the intended use of buildings.
