NEW PRIVATE MEMBER’S BILL SUPPORTS LOCAL DECISION-MAKING
The Planning and Energy Bill is being promoted by Michael Fallon MP (Sevenoaks) Cons, who came first in the recent Private members’ Ballot in Parliament. This Bill will allow councils, after involving their communities, to set high energy efficiency standards for new developments and to require them to generate energy by local on-site technologies (solar panels, heat pumps, small combined heat and power plants etc), which will save on emissions of carbon dioxide, cut fuel bills, create local jobs and so help build sustainable communities. Michael Fallon has said that he adopted this Bill because it enables local decision-making. So the ideas we have implemented over 5 years are taking root.The government is not yet backing the Bill. So once more can we ask you to…..
