Oct 11 2006

Housing and Planning Minister Yvette Cooper today called for new homes to be built at Scandinavian standards and welcomed the work of the Home Builders Federation and other organisations to push environmentally friendly and sustainably designed housing developments.

Addressing the Housebuilding 2006 conference, she said:

“There are clear challenges ahead if we are to build the homes that future generations need to a high eco-standard. If other countries can do it then so can we.

“UK developers must do more to create low cost and environmentally friendly homes. The ideas and techniques are already being used by our European neighbours - we must seize this opportunity to do more now so that on ten years time the UK will be a world leader in low cost and low carbon design.”
