Mr Robert King<br />

Mr Ed Chambers<br />

There is already a perceived view of "Them and Us" among Thetford<br />

residents which has been increasingly voiced at a number of public<br />

meetings and presentations. The development as proposed will only<br />

exacerbate this perception.<br />

Acknowledge this section needs to be revisited reaffirming that<br />

the <strong>TAAP</strong> vision is about integrated development for the whole<br />

regeneration benefit. Improve this section.<br />

Policy TH15 Energy and Carbon -Thetford Urban Extension and<br />

Policy TH16 Decentralised Energy Supply appear to duplicate<br />

policies TH32 and TH33 which are <strong>TAAP</strong> wide. It is considered that<br />

these could be combined and simplified. It would be appropriate for<br />

the contents of Table 16.1 (and the justification at 16.13) to provide<br />

some flexibility to suggest "compliance with the national standard<br />

appropriate at the time of determination", in relation to the on-going a<br />

review of the Building Regulations and the Code for Sustainable<br />

Homes. Agree to some extent.<br />

These should be the maximum rather than the minimum national<br />

standards. New homes should comply with the Energy Performance<br />

Certificate ‘A' or, at least, ‘B' ratings.<br />

built better than the building regulations in terms of energy.<br />

Mrs Patricia Poel Thetford 16 Policy TH 15 Comment And will it? Noted. No further action.<br />

We have commented in previous iterations of the <strong>TAAP</strong> on the need<br />

to ensure that any renewable energy infrastructure is sensitively sited<br />

and uses environmentally responsible fuel sources. Such proposals<br />

have the potential to make a net contribution to greenhouse gas<br />

emissions if poor choices are made for fuels, or if materials are<br />

sourced from long distances. Equally such proposals have the<br />

potential to promote inappropriate crops in the Breckland area which<br />

might reduce its capacity to support vulnerable protected species<br />

such as stone-curlew.<br />

Cross refer to CP12 and DC15 at<br />

Heat and power can only be achieved by developing a plant near to<br />

The <strong>TAAP</strong> does not plan for a power station specifically. The<br />

development could however provide a heat load for a CHP. It is<br />

(within 2Km) or within development. No such development for power correct that transfer of heat up to 2km is feasible and difficult<br />

and heat has been designated in the <strong>TAAP</strong>.<br />

beyond that distance. No further action.<br />
