… development. To improve upon this position, the Council now insists that all new non-domestic buildings built by the council will have a Pathway to Net Zero. This will require buildings to be built with design priorities such as ensuring low heat loss, high efficiency building services, local renewable electricity, and crucially, be built without connections to fossil fuels for heating and hot water…
