February 2024
Dear John
In case you missed it, the government has launched a new consultation on future
homes and building standards.
This is good news. Why? The consultation includes a proposal to make rooftop
solar mandatory on most new builds – a major development that could be a huge win for our rooftop solar campaign! Scroll down to find out more and respond.
As well as looking at the future of our homes and buildings, we’ve set out our vision for the future of transport that puts our countryside, communities
and climate at its heart . Read more about the oral evidence we gave to the House of Commons Transport
Committee below.

GOVERNMENT CONSULTATION OFFERS HOPE FOR ROOFTOP SOLAR

for most new buildings including all new houses, as part of a new consultation.
By supporting the proposals for mandatory rooftop solar, we can make significant
progress in reaching net zero while protecting our countryside. Find out more
below and respond by 6 March.

spring. Writer Eleanor Cheetham shares that it can often feel more difficult to
