Approach a green body representing the building industry as a whole and consult with them. Then discuss with local builders and reach a compromise with an implementation date. Not some vague point in the distant future, but within the near future, such as 2030.
With all the talk there has been about it and all the work being done within the field, the building industry should be at least half prepared for this as a likelihood. Starting with a clean slate and building net zero carbon buildings and not need any future retrofitting is an ideal way forward: prevention is better than cure.

80% by 2030 and 100% by 2040
Developers have not shown themselves keen to address this issue, so specific targets will have to be employed. However, these alone won't be enough unless there are clear penalties for failing to meet those requirements.

Reducing emissions and focussing on Net Zero is important. However this should never become disproportionate (a large minimum threshold should be set) nor bar the delivery of much needed development.

Setting a date encourages developers to build ahead of that date so the number of properties that the new policy applies to is reduced. New policies should ideally be applied immediately. If phased in then the phasing should be linked to the number of properties rather than a date so it would not apply to the first X properties build but would apply to any subsequent properties.
Where possible developments should prepare for retrofitting of renewable technology. E.g. new build should have a clear east, south or west facing roof suitable for solar panels. Heating should be under-floor rather than radiator with minimum pipe bore sizes suitable for heat pumps. Roof and drive drainage should not flow into sewer systems.

Net Carbon zero is required, but should be applied with sensitivety to historic buildings.

Don’t know why this isn’t already happening? The climate crisis has been obvious for decades.

Where retrofitting becomes not financially viable, it does become viable when no other sites i.e Greenbelt are available for developers. These are exactly the sites that need retrofitting and turning into housing stock. Where appropriate incentives need to be given.

In the future, such buildings must not be allowed to detract from the external visual impact which must be given equal consideration. (For example white warehouses in sensitive rural locations.)

The plan needs a policy requiring that all retrofit should be undertaken to a specific standard. The reason for this is that the current supply chain o in the market can be likened to the ‘wild west’. If deep retrofit is not done properly the health and wellbeing of occupants and indeed building fabric will suffer. The following is a list of appropriate standards: PAS 2035 for domestic buildings PAS 2038 for non-domestic buildings EnerPHit Standards – this is retrofit using the Passivhaus Standard Energiesprong – this would be useful for council homes and social housing. AECB or LETI - Retrofit Standard for housing. Include an intention to encourage development of solar panels and/or affordable housing above large private as well as public carparks eg supermarkets treating them as quasi brownfield.
