Draft Supplementary Guidance: Heat Opportunities Mapping
Overview
The Council has prepared draft Supplementary Guidance on Heat Opportunities Mapping for consultation.
The draft guidance sets out potential opportunities for establishing district heat networks within the context of the Local Development Plan. It is to be used in the assessment of the most suitable low carbon energy and heat solutions for new developments.
What are district heat networks and what is heat mapping?
Heat networks (including district heat networks) are a means of supplying heat in the form of heating and/or hot water to more than one building or residence from a locally generated source. It is considered a highly efficient way of providing heat to residential and commercial properties.
Heat mapping is used to show sources and users of heat energy in order to determine where new heat networks could be created.
Why your views matter
We are seeking your views on the content and approach set out in the draft Supplementary Guidance and its accompanying map.
It is advised that you read the PDF of the Supplementary Guidance before completing the short survey.
What happens next
Your views will be used to further inform the content of the final supplementary guidance.
The finalised guidance is expected to be published later in 2018.
