Sustainability Q3 (Part 1)

These are the recordings for the City Management Plan Workshop which took place on evenings in June, July and August 2009.

Sustainability Workshop Q3 (Part 1): Standards • BREEAM is an independent appraisal which sets mandatory minimum targets for the environmental performance of a building, whilst in relation to housing, the Code for Sustainable Homes provides a six star rating system of sustainability. Code Level 3 of Code for Sustainable Homes is mandatory by 2010, and all homes to be zero carbon by 2016. • Should the City Council apply BREEAM to all developments? • To what extent should the City Council require higher code levels prior to 2016? • Are there certain types, sizes or locations of development where higher levels of sustainability are achievable? • To what extent is zero carbon achievable in Westminster?

Please note these are recorded public workshops therefore the answers to the questions do not always follow the question. Some issues raised for discussion are dealt with in more than one workshop. Therefore to hear the full discussion you may wish to listen to the whole workshop recording and/or related topic areas.
