Design and sustainability standards consultation (housing)
Deadline for responses has closed.
The HCA is consulting on potential future design and sustainability core standards. We see such standards as a vital part of delivering our commitment to be at the forefront of good design quality and sustainability in housing.
The consultation seeks the views of stakeholders on options for core standards, their level, and how, if adopted, they should be applied and phased in to operation. We will use the consultation responses to inform final decisions on standards and their application.
