It's Eric Pickles' mob again! A mere 461 days after consulting on Part L changes there has finally been an announcement. What is it about DCLG that makes one think they are just not with it? The changes pressage a 6% decrease in CO2 emissions from new domestic premises and 9% from non-domestics buildings. There are no changes to provisions for existing homes and, of course, consequential improvements do not feature. The delay in coming to a conclusion means that the new requirements come into force in April 2014 rather than April 2013 as originally planned. It's all rather pathetic, isn't it?
PS (added 18th August). There's a short piece worth reading in Rod Janssen's Blog.
