Consultation on GHA project – your help appreciated

As previously posted Inkling are part of the team that won the recent Good Homes Alliance tender to provide better support for local authorities and project teams in the evaluation of overheating risk in new residential planning applications, and to raise awareness of possible design solutions.

The support is intended for use at the pre-planning and planning application stages of construction projects. The aim is to help planners and designers to spot potentially high-risk designs, enabling informed dialogue and helping to identify solutions at an early stage if needed, for everyone’s benefit. The guidance will be available in Spring 2019.

We have created surveys for designers and local authorities in order to inform our work, so that the guidance that will be produced is as useful as possible. We would be really grateful if you could respond to it (the survey of designers), and circulate to your colleagues and network if possible. The survey should only take 5-10 min to complete
