Representation Summary:
19. Should the Council seek to implement zero carbon developments before the Government's changes to the building regulations in 2016?
No, the building community should be allowed to formulate the best way to meet the target by being given a suitably appropriate timeframe. When the zero carbon target was announced the timeline was set to be challenging for developers. Bringing forwards this date will only reduce the likelihood that a coherent development scheme that can meet the criteria will be constructed within the region.
