What sort of development can the checklist be used for?
What types of development is the checklist designed for?
The checklist is designed for use on housing and mixed use developments. In consultation with project partners, it is suggested that alternative tools such as BREEAM or Code for Sustainable Homes are used where single buildings are being proposed.
Do I really have to fill in the whole checklist for a small development?
No. In consultation with planners from the region, we have split the checklist into three different versions for different sizes of development:
- Small developments
- 10 or less buildings (up to 1000m²/0.5ha)
- Medium developments
- 11 – 199 buildings (up to 20,000m²/10ha)
- Large developments
- 200 – 5999 buildings (over 20,000m²/10ha)
If the development is for more than 6,000 houses, we recommend a bespoke checklist should be produced by the developer and local authority.
The set of questions for smaller developments is contained within the set of questions for larger developments.
