As of the 1 October, housing in London will be expected to meet standards 35 per cent stricter than Part L of building regulations. Failure to do so will see developers pay cash in lieu into a carbon offset fund. However, UK-GBC policy advisor Richard Twinn said many developers were unaware of the change.<\/p>\n<p>Twinn said: \u201cMost people haven\u2019t got their heads round what\u2019s happening [through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.london.gov.uk\/what-we-do\/planning\/london-plan\" target=\"_blank\"><span>London Plan<\/span><\/a>].<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of developers who haven\u2019t twigged that it\u2019s going to be effectively zero carbon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s big news and people need to be aware it\u2019s coming. Developers will have to go further than they ever needed to before or their schemes will be turned down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The requirements were revealed earlier this year by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.london.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Greater London Authority<\/span><\/a> (GLA), which has the power to impose sustainability regulations. Twinn said the carbon offsetting fund, used to penalise developers for failing to build zero carbon homes, might incentivise developers to reduce their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to require architects to go further than they have before,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey will need to be on the front foot if they want to secure work in London. Developers will be looking for things that can be done on site to help them minimise their offsetting costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo there\u2019s an opportunity for people who know their stuff and have innovative ideas to make an impact on the London market.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Developers in London have been urged to ensure they understand new zero carbon requirement set to come into force by the end of the summer\u2026 The UK Green Building Council (UK-GBC) has warned London developers to be aware of changes to zero carbon requirements when putting forward planning applications.
