Sustainability Checkpoints
Sustainability Checkpoint 3
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?
Key actions
• The Sustainability Strategy is reviewed and the level of detail
for any supporting strategies is developed including those that
impact on any statutory legislation.
• Produce a full formal sustainability assessment.
• Produce an interim Approved Document L assessment and
design stage carbon/energy declaration (e.g. Carbon Buzz).
• Review the design to identify opportunities to reduce resource
use and waste and recorded in the Site Waste Management
Plan.
• 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.
