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 />

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 />

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 />
