Another Low Carbon Commitment Down the Pan

Why does the Government seem to believe that there's a trade-off between low carbon construction and total number of houses built? The allowable solutions scheme and the proposed 2016 domestic building energy efficiency targets are both being scrapped. As the spokesman from Willmott Dixon said - "This announcement seriously undermines industry's confidence in government policy and will diminish future investment". And owners of new homes will be foisted with less efficient dwellings than they would otherwise have had.
