The 20% policy lacks flexibility, is not the most appropriate strategy and is not in accordance with Government guidance in NPPF paragraph 95.
Many developers are currently looking at reducing carbon emissions by using a "fabric first" approach. For example, the AimC4 consortium is seeking ways to achieve 25% CO2 reduction required between the future Part L 2013 Building Regulations and the current Part L 2010 Building regulations at no additional cost. Carbon reduction is enshrined in current and future Building Regulations and so there is no need for a further layer. In reality, the market will dictate the level of energy efficiency and carbon reduction in new homes over and above legal requirements.
