OBJECTIVE 1
Spitfire remain concerned about a lack of clarity with regard to some of the terminology used in the targets and actions under Objective 1. A clearer explanation is still required of what is meant by the term ‘high quality’ in Targets A and B in the context of Leamington Spa.
The reference that housing should be ‘more energy efficient’ in Target B is meaningless without understanding what the benchmark is – i.e. more energy efficient than what, how is that assessment being measured, by whom and against which criteria? The addition of an expectation that homes incorporate Lifetime Homes / Building for Life standards does not assist in an assessment of the energy efficiency expectations.
