Question · Action Scorecards 2025
Points awarded if the council has a policy that requires a reduction in carbon/energy of new homes within the councils area that is 19% higher than the Part L building regulations.
This would be the same as Scottish councils requiring "Silver standard" as a minimum.
Part L building regulations are the English national standard building regulations, which define the energy performance and carbon emissions in new homes.
Councils can require improvements that require lower emissions than the current building regulations.
When marking the Planning section we will assess a Regulation 19 draft local plan or the latest adopted Local Plan or Supplementary Planning Document from the council.
