Government Releases
New
Part L 2010 Versions – Transitional
Arrangements
The transitional arrangements
are as follows:
• Commence on site before 1 October 2010, Part L
2006 version applies
•
Applications made for Building Regulations before 1 October 2010 and
commenced before 1 October 2011, Part L 2006 version applies
•
Applications made for Building Regulations after 1 October 2010, then
Part L 2010 is the guidance to be followed.
A
start on site is a drainage excavation or foundation (not demolition or
strip out works) and on multi building sites a start on one part is the
commencement for all the scheme.
The 2010 Part L
requires a 25%
reduction in CO2 emission from 2006 standards. The methodology of 2006
Part L is maintained but standards for services and envelope is further
tightened to achieve the necessary reduction in CO2
emission.
