This is also to be supplemented by the provision of a dedicated specialist Resource that can be deployed to assist LAs (and other HN developers) as & when requested by the HNDU. The scope of stakeholder management and communication Guidance must support the development of heat network business cases (i.e. HMT Green Book); but also cover all relevant aspects of heat networks (e.g. through operation). The Resource is to support HNDU operations through the provision of specialist & targeted stakeholder engagement services at critical junctures in project development.
