In spite of a small budget, Arun has been able to make significant progress on sustainable energy by carefully targeting funds and forming partnerships with other organisations. Arun District Council, has headquarters in the town of Littlehampton, and covers a region within West Sussex on the south coast of England, with 65, households and a population of , Arun Council has a fifteen-year rolling plan of maintenance on all council-owned property.
The plan has been modified to include a review of energy use every time a building becomes due for maintenance, and money is also set aside for improvements in energy efficiency.
As a result, houses and flats have had cavity wall and loft insulation installed, low energy light bulbs fitted, and single-glazed windows replaced with double-glazed. Arun has also worked hard to improve energy efficiency in private housing stock. Free insulation is offered for the overs, with the scheme targeted at those whose pension is their main source of income.
Multiple indices of deprivation are used to identify the areas most in need of assistance. Partial or full grants for insulation are also available to other households in the area and top-ups for Warm Front grants, which are often insufficient to cover the cost of heating system upgrades.
Arun has also negotiated special prices with a solar thermal water heating installer to encourage households to purchase systems. In the private rented sector Arun has two schemes to encourage landlords to improve the energy efficiency of their properties.
One offers grants to landlords of licensed HMOs Houses in Multiple Occupation to install an A-rated boiler, thermostatic radiator valves and insulation. The other scheme is an accreditation programme for landlords, covering fire safety and energy efficiency.
There are a significant number of students in the Bognor area who prefer to rent houses that are accredited, so there is an incentive for landlords to bring their properties up to the required safety and efficiency standards.
