Stage 3 – Developed Design
Sustainability aims
To ensure that the Developed Design reflects the underpinning Sustainability Strategy.
Checkpoints
• Has a full formal sustainability assessment been carried out?
• Have an interim Building Regulations Part L assessment and a design stage
carbon/energy declaration been undertaken?
• Has the design been reviewed to identify opportunities to reduce resource use
and waste and the results recorded in the Site Waste Management Plan?
Supplementary notes
• Refine and distil the project’s Sustainability Strategy, checking against brief
and targets.
• Update energy modelling as the design develops and check against targets.
• Refine the climate adaptation strategy and make provision for future adaptation
interventions.
• Incorporate environmental and sustainability issues in the Planning Application
Design and Access Statement, including a development of the Stage 2 'plain
English' description of internal environmental conditions, seasonal control
strategy and systems. Provide a supplementary detailed report if appropriate.
• Consider peer reviews of environmental control strategies and also involve
stakeholders and users.
• Instigate initial involvement of and advice to contractors and specialist
subcontractors where specialist products or systems are proposed.
• Audit the Developed Design to ensure integration and compliance with the
project’s sustainability targets.
