1. All new housing should be mandated to be carbon-neutral, or even carbon positive (generating more renewable energy than they consume) as a condition of planning permission. For example, they should incorporate at minimum:
* A very high standard of insulation, such as Passivhaus.
* Heating and cooking systems that rely on electricity rather than fossil fuels.
* Renewable power generation, such as via rooftop solar PV, air or ground source heat pumps.
* Low energy, high efficiency appliances.
