Net Zero Carbon Development Plan

Representation ID: 72092

Received: 31/07/2021

Respondent: Jonathan Hodgson

Representation Summary:

I would like to register that I thoroughly support the aims and objectives of the proposed Net Zero Carbon policy.

On an initial reading of the document, it appears to be well though-out (including a sensible reference to avoiding creation of fuel
poverty) but entirely focussed on carbon during occupation and use of buildings. Would it also be worthwhile to consider
embedded carbon in the construction phase, and to encourage the use of renewable or low-carbon construction materials?
