'Past' Breaking
News
The Government
have relaxed the 'renewable-energy' requirements; i.e.
'carbon-emissions'; calculated for Code Level 6 ('Zero-Carbon'
Homes) so that it will no longer be necessary to meet the projected energy
'needs' of 'white goods'; i.e. cookers, washing machines,
dishwashers, etc.
The Government
is also looking at ways to 'free-up' publicly owned land
specifically for the 'self-build' sector because of it's great
potential to deliver 'family homes' with the great individuality
that 'speculative housing developments' are generally deemed to lack!
The Government
has announced that it is planning to 'release' sufficient
'public-owned' land for 100,000 new homes to be built by 2015.
