This policy should apply to all new build and not just 10+ residential or 1000sqm + commercial. A 15% target is unlikely to be lawful under the net zero 2050 national objective and should be increased. It also fails to take into account national policy on prohibiting gas boilers after 2025. Extensions to residential property (including permitted development) will need to be compliant. The policy should make it clear that permission will be refused unless it is compliant.
Policy should apply to all new build and not just 10+ residential or 1000sqm + commercial. % needs to be higher than 15%.
