The London Plan
12 Oct 2009
The Mayor's draft replacement London Plan was published on 12 October 2009 and is available at.www.london.gov.uk/shaping-london/london-plan
The draft replacement London Plan sets out decentralised energy policies at both the Local Development Frameworks (LDFs) and development level. Policy 5.5 Decentralised Energy Networks states that within LDFs boroughs should develop policies and proposals to identify and establish decentralised energy network opportunities, and develop energy master plans for specific decentralised energy opportunities. Policy 5.6 Decentralised Energy in Development Proposals requires new development to follow a heating hierarchy which prioritises connection to existing heating and cooling systems, followed by site-wide combined heat and power schemes where feasible.
