* Mayor of London Ken Livingstone announced at the end of May that his London Plan Review will set radical new objectives for planners and developers that will require new developments to connect to “decentralised” local energy supplies and achieve the highest standards of sustainable building design. The Review also doubles the carbon emission reductions that developments must achieve through onsite renewable energy from 10% to 20%. In continental Europe, France has recently followed the examples of Germany and Spain by increasing substantially “feed in tariffs” for electricity generated from renewable sources and sold into the grid.
