Dear James MacDonald,
 
Environmental Information Regulations 2004
 
Thank you for your request for information that was received on 27 January
2021  requesting:

Under EIR 2004 regulations, I would like to request information regarding
the council's implementation of London Plan policy 5.9 (on overheating
risk) in planning decisions, particularly in major residential
developments.
Specifically:
1. What is the council's approach to implementing policy 5.9, and has the
council developed additional local policies in this area?
2. At the pre-application stage, what advice is provided to developers to
help them address policy 5.9? For example, are developers made aware of
GLA guidance on energy assessments and the 'Early Stage Overheating Risk
Tool' in Appendix I?
3. Are developers expected to carry out dynamic overheating modelling as
recommended in the GLA guidance?
4. How does the council monitor the success of these policies in reducing
overheating issues in new build properties?
If any of these information requests are unclear, I am happy to revise my
request with your advice as required under the regulations. I would like
all information to be provided in an electronic format where possible.
 
We are dealing with your request under the Environmental Information
Regulations 2004  and we aim to send a response by 24 February 2021.
 
In some case, a fee may be payable. If we decide a fee is payable, we will
send you a fee notice and we will require you to pay the fee before
proceeding with your request.
 
The Environmental Information Regulations 2004  may restrict the release
of some or all of the information you have requested. We will carry out an
assessment and if any exceptions  apply to some or all of the information
then we might not provide that information to you. We will inform you if
this is the case and advise you of your rights to request an internal
review and to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
 
We will also advise you if we cannot provide you with the information
requested for any other reason together with the reason(s) why and details
of how you may appeal (if appropriate).
 
Yours faithfully
