Energy Company Obligation: Updating Deemed Scores for ECO3

Draft Revised National Planning Policy Framework
The draft revised National Planning Policy Framework incorporates policy proposals previously consulted on in the Housing White Paper and the Planning for the right homes in the right places consultation (see our previous briefing on the Housing White Paper consultation and implications for onshore wind energy here).
Budget 2017 included additional proposals to change planning policy and legislation to bring forward more land in the right places. This consultation seeks views on these additional policy proposals. Of particular relevance for members will be chapter 18 on meeting the challenge of climate change,
flooding and coastal change.
We ask that any members considering making a response or who may have comments to feed into a CEE response, especially related to onshore wind, get in touch.
Deadline - 10th May 2018 at 11.45pm

The Government considers that the regulation of smart appliances will be needed in order to maximise the opportunities for consumers of demand-side response in homes and businesses, while ensuring any risks associated with smart appliances are managed effectively.
