   DEVElOPMENT MANAGEMENT STANDARDS 661FINGAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2023-2029 The purpose of this statement is to demonstrate how low carbon energy and heating solutions have been considered as part of the overall design and planning of the proposed development. Having regard to the above, the statement, which shall be prepared by a certified engineer, shall address: ¨ the technical, environmental and economic feasibility of on-site renewable energy generation including solar PV and small scale wind power; ¨ the technical, environmental and economic feasibility of at a minimum, the following high-efficiency alternative energy supply and heating systems: ƿ decentralised energy supply systems based on energy from renewable and waste heat sources; ƿ co-generation (combined heat and power); ƿ district or block heating or cooling, particularly where it is based entirely or partially on energy from renewable and waste heat sources; ƿ heat pumps. Objective DMSO260 – Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings Support high levels of energy conservation, energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources in existing buildings, including retro-fitting of appropriate energy efficiency measures in the existing building stock. Objective DMSO261 – Climate Action Energy Statements All new developments involving 15 residential units and/or more than 1,000 sq. m. of commercial floor space, or as otherwise required by the Planning Authority, will be required to submit a Climate Action Energy Statement as part of the overall Design Statement to demonstrate how low carbon energy and heating solutions, have been considered as part of the overall design and planning of the proposed development. 14.21.4 Renewable Energy Development proposals will be encouraged to utilise renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy where feasible (as per Policies CAP13 and CAP 14 in Chapter 5 Climate Action). Applicants should assess the feasibility of alternative energy sources as part of the energy statement submitted with the application. The provision of on-site energy production sources in industrial area and business parks will be assessed on a case by case basis where it can be demonstrated that: ¨ The amenity obtained by surrounding properties shall not be affected. ¨ The visual impact of the provision of such facilities should also be assessed in the context of the surrounding environment as to ensure the visual amenity of the area is protected. Large scale proposals for solar panels or any development in the vicinity of the Airport, the strategic national road and LUAS networks will be required to submit a Glint and Glare Assessment. Domestic applications will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. All large-scale proposals involving solar panels shall be sent to Irish Aviation Authority as part of the statutory consultee process.
