The Royal Institute of British Architects (澳门王中王) has today, Monday 10 June 2024, responded to the Liberal Democrats 2024 general election manifesto, 鈥楩or a Fair Deal鈥�, published earlier today.听听
澳门王中王 President Muyiwa Oki 蝉补颈诲:听听
鈥淔rom delivering 150,000 social homes to mandating a zero-carbon standard for new builds, to introducing a Home Energy Upgrade retrofitting programme to adequately resourcing planning departments, there is much to welcome in this manifesto.听听
As a country, we鈥檙e crying out for high-quality social housing and for a plan to upgrade our leaky housing stock.听听
While welcoming these proposals, I urge the party to consider mandating both operational and embodied energy as part of their new zero-carbon standard, and to consider using stamp duty as a retrofit tax incentive 鈥� something we鈥檝e long been calling for.听听
These are ambitious, encouraging pledges, but they won鈥檛 succeed without the expertise of architects and collaboration across our sector.鈥澨�
