Paragraph 40 Combined heat and power (“CHP”)I1
England, Wales and Scotland
The authorised development must not be brought into commercial use until the planning authority has given notice that it is satisfied that the undertaker has allowed for space and routes within the design of the authorised development for the later provision of heat pass-outs for off-site users of process or space heating and its later connection to such systems.
The undertaker must maintain such space and routes for the lifetime of the authorised development.
On the date that is 12 months after the authorised development is first brought into commercial use, the undertaker must submit to the planning authority for its approval a report (“the CHP review”) updating the combined heat and power assessment.
The CHP review submitted and approved must—
consider the opportunities that reasonably exist for the export of heat from the authorised development at the time of submission; and
include a list of actions (if any) that the undertaker is reasonably to take (without material additional cost to the undertaker) to increase the potential for the export of heat from the authorised development.
The undertaker must take such actions as are included, within the timescales specified, in the approved CHP review.
On each date during the lifetime of the authorised development that is five years after the date on which it last submitted the CHP review or a revised CHP review to the planning authority, the undertaker must submit to the planning authority for its approval a revised CHP review.
Subparagraphs (4) and (5) apply in relation to a revised CHP review submitted under subparagraph (6) in the same way as they apply in relation to the CHP review submitted under subparagraph (3).
In subparagraph (1), “the combined heat and power assessment” means the document certified as the combined heat and power assessment by the Secretary of State for the purposes of this Order under article 23.
