FROM THE EDITOR...
Hello, I hope you are well, and enjoying the weather now that summer seems to have arrived (I think we may have missed out spring this year.)
Recently I was having a quick look through the new Levelling Up Bill which is currently going through Parliament (as you do). I was actually hunting for mention of how the Government is trying to drive the industry towards compliance with the Future Homes Standard (a daunting 75% cut in current carbon emissions in new builds, as a minimum).
There doesn’t seem to be anything – it’s being left to the industry, clients, and poor old Building Control to sort all that out, it seems. Regardless of the whole heat pump debate, just how we can incentivise homeowners and builders to work to a much higher standard appears to be too complex and interventionist for the politicians to want to engage with, but they need to, fast; the FHS is less than two years away.
The Bill does include a new push for local authorities to give permissions to self-builds, tightening the defi nition of what that means so councils can’t include what are clearly not homes under ‘self-build.’
This is stoking demand. What we really need is more on affordable eco-building delivery, as 2025 is looming.
