My next question is for the SCSI and CIF. Until now, people building one-off housing may have wanted to build a carbon-neutral or zero-carbon home with inbuilt environmental aspects to make them as environmentally-friendly as possible. Given the increase in the cost of construction, have people changed the type of house they want to build? Have they stepped back and decided they cannot afford to build a home that is as environmentally-friendly as possible or carbon neutral?
