I welcome the ambition to be Net Zero in use, and the note on strengthening the climate change policies in light of new evidence. However, the proposed standards should be stricter. In particular, solar panels should be a requirement on new properties except in exceptional circumstances. Criterion 7 (green roofs) is less practical for residential properties and it should be made clear that solar PV is ranked above this. The most up to date standards should be referenced with allowance for improvements as standards improve to 2050. Viability assessments must be independent and robust to prevent undermining of criteria.
