Local Government must introduce the following measures;

​

Local Development Consent Orders,

Local Listed Building Consent Orders.

Local Authorities to make use of new Local Development Consent Orders and Local Listed Building Consent Orders on both Non-listed and Listed Buildings for Solar, External Wall Insulation, Window replacement, Chimneys, Parapet walls, and other measures as relevant locally. Refer to Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea for recent LLBCO March 2022 Solar and current LLBCO consultation for Double Glazing. 

 

Local Supplementary Planning Documents.

SPD guides to be written as detailed Pattern Books to supplement CA Guides

using local experts and community group input. These to go beyond current SPD with house typology solutions,  detailed technical drawings and manufacturers’ lists. These may change over time but should be regularly updated for best contemporary practice of retrofit and heritage construction. Details are very helpful as previous planning diagrams are unclear and often not aligned to other regulation. This precision will result in streamlining future planning for homeowners and planners necessary for a more rapid roll-out of retrofit to NetZero.

​

Local Conservation Area Guidance.

Conservation Area Documents to be progressively updated with new Appraisal Management Plans with Building and Element Audits as per this toolkit. Conservation Appraisal Guidance to list individual buildings by street number that are suitable for each measure, See LB Islington draft revised CA13 Toolkit page 159 .
