Lanpro consider a national and standardised approach to improving issues such as the energy efficiency of buildings, the provision of renewable energy and the delivery of electric vehicle charging points to be the most effective approach that balances improvements with continued delivery of housing and infrastructure. It is our preference for a national approach to improving the environmental performance of residential developments, rather than local authorities setting their own standards. We consider this is necessary to allow research and development and supply chains to focus upon responding to agreed national targets, and for training providers to plan their programmes to equip the labour force to meet these new requirements. It is fundamentally inefficient to create a plurality of standards.
