2. In all residential developments of 10 or more dwellings and in non-residential developments of 1000sq m or more 10% of the predicted energy requirements should be produced on site from renewable energy resources.

Energy Conservation

3. New development will not be permitted unless its siting, design and layout avoids the unnecessary waste of renewable and non-renewable energy resources and makes economic use of raw materials.
