3 Managing Environmental Resources 3.0.28 All financial sums shall be paid to the council and index-linked. Reasonable legal fees will also be payable. Policy DM 14 Sustainable Design Standards A. New-build residential developments are required to achieve the following standards under the Code for Sustainable Homes, or equivalent: (i) up to 2012 - Level 4 (ii) 2013 to 2015 - Level 5 (iii) 2016 onwards - Level 6 B. Major residential developments consisting of the refurbishment of existing buildings, including the conversion of existing buildings to form flats, are required to achieve EcoHomes Excellent, or equivalent. C. Major non-residential developments are required to achieve the following standards under the relevant BREEAM or equivalent scheme: (i) (ii) up to 2015 - Excellent 2016 onwards - Outstanding 3.0.29 The Code for Sustainable Homes (CsH) is the national standard for the sustainable design and construction of new homes. The Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM) tools provide a nationally-recognised sustainable design standard for all other types of development, including refurbished homes which is covered by EcoHomes. These standards provide a widely recognised and well understood framework for the promotion of sustainable design, incorporating categories such as energy, CO2, water, materials, drainage, waste, pollution, health and well-being, management and ecology. 3.0.30 The LDF evidence base demonstrates that CsH level 4 for all major and minor new build residential schemes and BREEAM Excellent for major non-residential schemes is currently achievable in the borough; in fact suggesting that energy standards above this level are already achievable for major schemes. It is therefore considered that target levels of these standards can be improved slightly ahead of the government's zero-carbon trajectory, as set out in the above policy. By 2016, the requirement of this policy for CSH will converge with those of the zero-carbon trajectory. 32 Islington Council Development Management Policies - Direction of Travel
3 Managing Environmental Resources Policy DM 15 Water efficiency standards for non residential developments A. Applications for non-residential developments are required to include information to demonstration that water efficiency has been maximised. B. Non-residential developments (excluding those considered to have no significant sustainability implications - see note 1 ) are required to achieve 3 out of 3 credits for water efficiency in the relevant BREEAM scheme and/or use less than 1.5m 3 of water per person per year unless it is demonstrated that this is not reasonably possible. C. Where it is demonstrated that (i) is not reasonably possible, developments (subject to the above exclusions) are required to achieve at least 2 out of 3 credits for water in the relevant BREEAM scheme, limit water use as much as reasonably possible and/or use less than 4.4m 3 of water per person per year. Should BREEAM be replaced or amended during the lifetime of the plan, the replacement requirements will be applied by the council. 3.0.31 Note 1 : Policy DM15 B does not apply to those changes of use, extensions of less than 100m 2 and minor works, where there will be no new units, no intensification and no significant water consumption impacts. 3.0.32 The Environment Agency has defined Islington as an area of serious water stress due to a combination of consumption rates, population forecasts and water availability. Additional growth in housing and non-residential floorspace will put significant additional pressure on water resources. Islington lies in an area which already has fewer water resources available in a dry year than the total household and non-household demand. Policy DM 15 aims to set stretching but achievable standards which will minimise water use from non-residential developments and contribute to reduced demand from new development in Islington. Standards for residential developments are set out within the Core Strategy. Policy DM 16 Heating and cooling A. Developers are required to demonstrate how the proposed design has maximised incorporation of passive design measures to control heat gain and to deliver passive cooling, following the cooling hierarchy, below: i) Passive design to minimise unwanted heat gain and manage heat ii) Passive/natural cooling Development Management Policies - Direction of Travel Islington Council 33
