Response from Mark Lowers
Hello Gavin
It was good to see your blog and its nice to get some feed back on what we are trying to do.
The current % is 10% for all major developments and a requirement for at least a Very Good rating from EcoHomes/BREEAM. I attach a copy of the current policy for your information.
With regards environmental issues on the Havering website I agree with you and it is something we are working on. The Council's cabinet member for environment is Councillor Armstrong This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .uk . Cllr Armstrong is very active in push the environmental agenda forward in Havering and is one of the reasons that the 'Merton Rule' was finally adopted in the borough.

A campaign blog by Gavin D. J. Harper, written in November 2006, on the Merton Rule in the London Borough of Havering: a planning policy requiring major developments to generate a share of their energy from on-site renewables. The blog followed his emails to local politicians and council officers, and the council's reply. Archived here as early work.
