Mr. David Browne:

If this is to be done at scale, we need the mandate and pipeline that I mentioned. It would be helped by two other things. One is introducing a requirement as soon as possible for whole life carbon assessments with all planning applications. That would begin the drive towards more modern methods of constructions. Again, I highlight the need for planning certainty, which is a problem at the moment. It could be helped perhaps by devolving responsibility and accountability for delivery of housing to local authorities. It might help to encourage localisation of the industry around the country.
