Noting government guidance explained in detail in the consultation, I believe that there are grounds for policy requiring renewables that exceed national building regulations. The rural nature of many parts of the Districts (Stratford in particular) with important landscapes, whether designated or not, would place a priority on locating PV for instance on existing buildings and development in preference to open land (sequential test) in the interest of the wider environment and maximising energy gain. The same arguments would apply to minimising pressure on the distribution grid for EVs and transmission lines by local generation, including micro generation.
