The Wiltshire Sustainable Energy Study, published in January 2011, has been prepared by consultants Camco for Wiltshire Council.

It forms part of the evidence base for the Wiltshire Core Strategy, specifically addressing the requirements of Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 1, which expects new development to be planned to make good use of opportunities for decentralised and renewable or low-carbon energy.

The study assesses the capacity for supplying the new development in Wiltshire with low carbon energy, and considers appropriate 'carbon standards' for the Core Strategy and subsequent Local Development Framework (LDF) documents.

In undertaking this analysis, the study:

• Assesses the characteristics of the housing growth plans for the area;
• Assesses the resource potential for renewable energy generation within Wiltshire and relates this to the energy demand of the housing growth proposals;
• Provides indicative energy supply strategies that help inform potential carbon standards for new development;
• Outlines  potential carbon standards for new development and the viability of new standards;
• Specifies suitable low carbon solutions and requirements for different development types;
• Outlines the policy options for supporting low to zero carbon development within the county.

The report is available to download below.
