Will better environmental standards really mean fewer homes?

Beschreibung

The house building industry body Homes for Scotland (HFS) recently called on the Scottish Government to ‘pause and review’ the proposed Scottish Passivhaus equivalent policy for new homes, which would introduce minimum environmental design standards for all new-build homes. The policy, put forward by Labour MSP Alex Rowley and supported by the Scottish Government coalition, is due to be adopted as legislation in December 2024.
