We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to reinstate the ability to use accredited offsite renewables to achieve the Treasury definition of zero carbon homes within the draft Statutory Instrument for stamp duty exemption and to reflect this is in the Code for Sustainable Homes. This will provide greater opportunities to meet the 2016 zero carbon homes target. More details
Submitted by Giles Frampton of Econstruction Ltd – Deadline to sign up by: 04 November 2007 – Signatures: 69
More details from petition creator
The Draft Statutory Instrument (DSI) for Stamp Duty Exemption for Zero Carbon Homes, announced at the last budget, will undermine the majority of attempts to deliver the greenest of housing. The DSI is to be laid before Parliament at the end of next week for Committee approval by the end of the month. It is at best a misguided piece of well-meaning legislation that will do more harm than good, or at worst a genuine attempt by central Government to limit the loss of stamp duty receipts from too many zero carbon homes. Oliver Letwin MP has responded to our concerns by writing to the Chancellor asking for clarification. We await a reply from The Treasury.
