I very much hope that Mr.Turner will bring some radical thinking to such a pressing issue. I’ve worked in the Construction Industry for 40+ years and am continuously shocked at the sheer irresponsibility of our planning and building practices.
The quite recent introduction of Eco-Homes & Sustainable Homes Codes are a step in the right direction—but too timid and not getting to grips with the huge opportunities that are available for the taking—with determination and imagination.
I shall be delighted to make a contribution—from the ‘coalface’!.
