Respondent: Harvey Bosomworth

BMDC has a target to be net zero on carbon emissions by 2038 and the aim of making significant progress on this by 2030. These policies do not apply to existing developments, so, we can only assume that the highest standards in energy efficiency will need to be applied to achieve those targets. Will BDMC be able to apply such standards immediately as a priority - even in advance of finalising these policies and the target date of 2024/2025, given that large developments are already proposed and we have net zero target dates which are fast approaching? Why not consider existing housing stock in these policies for retro-fitting? Retro-fitting renewable energy systems on existing housing stock and public buildings, will potentially reduce dependence of new developments on fossil fuels.
