A new industry-led commission, The Sustainable Development Commission (SDC), has been set up by IHBC 2016 Annual School sponsor Iceni Projects to establish a ‘clear-cut’ set of guidelines for gauging the sustainability credentials of developments.
The Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) will evaluate social, economic and environmental factors and produce a universal ‘scorecard’ to be used in assessing projects, and will include a wide spectrum of organisations representing interests from both residential and commercial developments.
The group includes representatives from the Campaign to Protect Rural England, Birmingham City Council, Cherwell District Council, South Northamptonshire Council, Land Securities, Crest Nicholson and law firm Dentons.
The Commission is being chaired by ex-MP Nick Raynsford. Janet Askew, immediate past President of the RTPI, is on the Commission’s panel.
