As a social housing provider, there is a minefield of information you
need to know in order to ensure your properties are built or refurbished
with the minimum of hassle and as cost effectively as possible, whilst
also meeting the needs of your tenants. The subjects covered in this
section are designed to help you achieve this and are split into four
core areas:
-
Building Regulations – covering Scotland as well as England & Wales,
and detailed information on how to comply with Part L
-
Policy Initiatives – for information on PPS22, EcoHomes, Code for
sustainable homes or Decent Homes
-
National Standards – NHBC guidelines, EST good practice guide and
details on DOM8 / DOM9
-
Funding Programmes – government grants available for renewable and
micro-generation technologies
