A change to the Building Regulations on 1 January 2019 requires all new buildings owned and occupied by public authorities must be ‘Nearly Zero Energy Buildings’. The County Council will demonstrate compliance with the Regulations and will amend its policies and specification to require all new buildings to be Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB).

WITH REFERENCE TO 4.3.3 The wellbeing of children and their families is integral to achieving the priorities within the Council's Corporate Strategy.
