3 Managing Environmental Resources B. Major developments are required to score a minimum number of BREEAM / Code for Sustainable Homes credits on materials and waste: i) Schemes assessed under BREEAM should achieve 2 out of 4 credits on Mat 1 (Materials Specification) and 1 out of 3 credits on Mat 5 (Responsible Sourcing) and 2 out of 4 credits (or 1 out of 4 credits in the case of major fit out schemes) on BREEAM Wst 1 (Waste). ii) Schemes assessed under the Code for Sustainable Homes should achieve 8 out of 15 credits on Mat 1, and 3 out of 6 credits on Mat 2 (Responsible Sourcing of Materials – Basic Building Elements) and 1 out of 3 credits on Mat 3 (Responsible Sourcing of Materials – Finishing Elements) and 2 out of 2 credits on Code for Sustainable Homes Was 2 (Waste). iii) As a minimum, 10% of the total value of materials used should derive from recycled and reused content in the products and materials selected. C. Applications for minor developments (excluding those considered to have no significant sustainability implications - see note 1 ) are required to include details of how materials have been selected to minimise environmental impacts over the lifecycle of the building and how construction waste has been minimised. D. All developments are required to comply with Islington's Code of Practice for Construction Sites. 3.0.9 Note 1 : Policy DM11 C does not apply to those householder applications, minor changes of use, extensions or less than 100m 2 and minor works, where there will be no new units, no intensification and no significant construction works. 3.0.10 The principles of this policy have already been set out in CS Policy 10F which requires all development to minimise the environmental impact of materials, for example through use of sustainably-sourced, low impact and recycled materials, and to take all possible measures to minimise the impact of construction on the environment, including by minimising construction waste. 3.0.11 The policy aims to ensure developments address the environmental impacts of material use. In order to avoid duplication the policy adopts the approach used by BREEAM and the Code for Sustainable Homes, requiring a certain number of credits under relevant parts to ensure a good practice approach. Low-impact forms of concrete such as those which incorporate slag cement or recycled aggregates are also promoted to reduce the significant environmental impact associated with this material. Minimum information requirements for the Green Procurement Plan will be set out within the Sustainable Design SPD. 26 Islington Council Development Management Policies - Direction of Travel
3 Managing Environmental Resources Policy DM 12 Carbon Dioxide reduction targets A. Developments are required to achieve best practice energy efficiency standards, in terms of design and specification. B. Minor new build residential developments of one unit or more are required to achieve an on-site reduction in regulated CO 2 emissions of at least 25% in comparison with regulated emissions from a building which complies with Building Regulations Part L 2010 (equivalent to Code for Sustainable Homes level 4), unless it can be demonstrated that such provision is not feasible. From 2013 this target will be a 47% on-site reduction in regulated CO 2 emissions in comparison with regulated emissions from a building which complies with Building Regulations Part L 2010, unless it can be demonstrated that such provision is not feasible. C. Minor non-residential developments (excluding those considered to have no significant sustainability implications - see note 1 ) are required to achieve an on-site reduction in regulated CO 2 emissions of at least 16% in comparison with regulated emissions from a building which complies with Building Regulations Part L 2010, unless it can be demonstrated that such provision is not feasible. This requirement will be reviewed and revised in relation to the national zero-carbon trajectory. D. All remaining emissions from minor residential developments and all remaining regulated emissions from non-residential developments, not dealt with by on-site measures, (excluding those application types to which the above policies do not apply and conversions of existing buildings to residential) will be off-set. Developments will be required to pay the full cost of CO 2 off-setting, unless it can be demonstrated that this is not feasible, in which case the maximum feasible payment for off-setting will be required. E. Minor conversions of existing buildings into residential flats and changes of use are required to deliver a significant improvement to energy efficiency, by incorporating the following energy efficiency measures: (i) where no significant works to the building fabric are proposed: - loft insulation (where lofts exist and 250mm of insulation is not currently present) - cavity wall insulation (where cavities exist and are not already filled) - heating controls upgrade (to provide a programmable timer, room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves, where these are not already installed) - double or secondary glazing - provision of A-rated boilers (where existing boilers are D-rated, or lower, and where new and/or additional boilers are required) Development Management Policies - Direction of Travel Islington Council 27
