122 F E Wells Great Wakering, a renouned UK dry spot, surely is not a suitable area for development. Its road structure is poor anyway.
Yes to encourage, solar and wind energy so less depend on nuclear power, don't have to worry about inport of gas and oil.
Builders etc like Wimpy and Barrett etc should have already have designs for solar and wind for their new houses. Water
123 Mr K Walcer
can be used for energy as well. Fresh water be drained from salt water.
125 Mr D Brown & Mrs J Kirk You could encourage local inititives for green energy schemes.
Energy conservation should be the priority, energy saving strategies should be a requirement. Renewable sources such as
solar panels should be installed whenever possible on new developemnts and encouraged (financially) on all existing
126 Mr J Jefferies
properties. All water should be metered. This should be achieved without a cost to the householder.
If this question refers to environmental considerations there are numerous: In new built housing there should be solar
panels, wind turbines, (roof or garden) 100% insulation, double glazing, condensing boilers, rainwater retention facility,
greywater retention, dual water systems, grey water flusing of toilets, radiators with individual thermostats. In future years
some of these things may have to be statutory. For now, a degree of subsidisation may be enough. Certainly,
127 Mr G Ware
encouragement and planning permission is essential.
128 Mr H Snell We should actively encourage energy and water saving.
In order to save more energy consumption per household I would float the idea that high household use beyond a permitted
allowance should be reflected in the Council tax paid for the band of the property. Yes higher charge for some based on the
premise 'the user pays'. The South East faces a hydrological crisis and all properties should be metered. In addition all
properties should restrict the amount of hard surfacing within the boundary to allow what rainfall there is penetrates deep
into the soil. I believe this approach is applied in Portugal due to recent droughts in that country. With another 3700
129 Mr A Clarke
additional dwellings plus the accompanying infrastructure will only exacerbate the looming crisis.
130 Mrs S Martin Make sure all existing bottle banks etc are emptied regularly perhaps another council rubbish site.
Demand on services will continue to increase, but what can council do about this - they are commercial operations outside

local control.
Any measures which improve the existing levels of any energy and water efficiency must be statutory to succeed. Even
133 The Occupier
then, does the political and legal will to enforce any new initiatives exist?
134 Ms Innes (a) Yes. (b) No - strict care needs to be taken of our natural resources.
Yes, see "housing" we increase the need for energy and water, but we see no provision for the facility of increasing energy -

water.
136 Mrs G E Chase Put everyone on a water meter. Use solar power for some street lighting.
Water is a very precious commodity and everything should be done to encourage people to save as much as possible. We

Encourage schools, hospitals and other public buildings to use renewables and restrain consumption. Have show houses

available for domestic consumer to see what can be done.
