Sustainable building is key to reducing the carbon footprint of the district â€" particularly use of renewable energy. However where there are new build sustainable building should also mean consideration of use of timber alongside other building products, as it has a much lower impact on the environment. We suggest that you set a target for new buildings that they should meet the â€~Very Good’ standard of EcoHomes/BREEAM.
