520			_aLooks at how local authorities are forcing developers to install renewable energy sources in their new commercial buildings. Merton Council in London is the first authority to operate a planning policy that demands that large new commercial buildings generate 10% of their energy on site from renewable sources. As a result developers are having to rethink their building designs to gain planning consent. Lists fifteen other planning authorities set to copy Merton's approach with many other councils believed to be considering similar policies. Describes the B&Q development in New Malden where a wind turbine, photovoltaic cells and solar panels have been installed to generate 10% of its energy requirement, raising construction costs by 3.5% and Chancerygate's experience of building industrial units in Merton, which seek to meet the 10% energy mandate.
