Question · Action Scorecards 2025
The criteria will be met by English councils if they have a policy that exceeds the minimum government's building regulations on the Part L Target for Fabric Energy Efficiency.
Alternatively, the criteria will be met for councils that have a policy with a space heating requirement that exceeds the minimum government's building regulations.
For Scottish councils, the criteria will be met if the council requires developers to meet the Silver or Gold building standards.
The Part L target for Fabric Energy Efficiency defines the efficiency of the building fabric, which includes the U-values, air tightness and thermal bridging - the parts of the building that lose heat.
A fabric first approach by a council would require improvements on the national standard thereby ensuring new homes are energy efficient.
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.
