TellThemWhatYouThink doesn't work very well anymore

This site was set up in 2008, to help people find Government consultations more easily, and to show that it could be done: quickly and easily. The site has never been funded as such, and has relied on volunteers for maintenance and support. It hasn't had much maintenance recently and this shows: some consultations can't be found and some functions don't work as they should. We are currently seeking funding for a new version of TellThemWhatYouThink.

In the meantime, you can search a limited number of departments for open consultations at the Directgov Consultation Finder.

Sustainable New Homes - The Road to Zero Carbon: Consultation on the Code for Sustainable Homes and the Energy Efficiency standard for Zero Carbon Homes

Consultation published by The Department for Communities and Local Government View original »

This consultation seeks views on changes to the Code for Sustainable Homes in 2010, to align with changes to Part L of the Building Regulations and the proposed approach to adopting the 2016 definition of zero carbon.Therefore the most significant changes are within the energy section of the Code. 

This consultation also puts forward our proposed changes to credit issues such as Lifetime Homes, Home Security, Surface Water Run-off and Waste as well as setting out issues that are being considered for further investigation in the future. It also seeks views on the energy efficiency definition to be incorporated into the definition of zero carbon homes from 2016 and whether that should be introduced into Building Regulations at an intermediate level from 2013.

Part A looks at changes to the Code for Sustainable Homes and incorporates the proposed fabric energy efficiency standards being consulted on in Part B of the consultation.
