It is proposed to address embodied carbon in the Building Regulations within a new Part Z. The Government’s Building to Net Zero: Costing Carbon in Construction (May 2022) report recommends embodied carbon and whole-life carbon assessments for buildings are established in the Building Regulations. Local Authorities are only encouraged to include such a requirement within Local Plans – the fact that this is not advised to be mandatory confirms that allowing Building Regulations alone to cover this is sufficient. In any event, viability will be an important consideration. We support the acknowledgment that applicants can submit a justification where achieving embodies carbon targets is unviable.
