Nearly zero carbon buildings standards
Development proposals should demonstrate the highest feasible and viable sustainability standards across design, construction, operation and end-of-life phases, in line with nearly zero carbon buildings strategy requirements for new buildings.
Development proposals should, where appropriate, demonstrate the highest feasible and viable sustainability standards in the design, construction, operation and "end of life" phases of development in line with the 'nearly zero carbon buildings' strategy set out in the EU energy performance and buildings directive, where all new buildings are required to be 'nearly zero carbon' by 2020.
