ART506 Dissertation 2019. Anthony Gwynne . 116 6. TG- how do you intend to achieve the 2050 carbon reduction requirements and who makes the final decision when to consult and what is included in AD’s? BSTM - • Current Minister for Housing and Local Government Office Address: 1 st Floor, 11 Wind Street, Swansea.SA1 1DP. Phone: 01792 460 836. Assembly Address: National Assembly for Wales, Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, CF99 1NA. • Note: TG emailed Minister for Housing and Local Government regarding how they intend to achieve the Welsh Governments carbon reduction targets for 2050 (Appendix E1). I received an email from BSTM 15 th November 2019 (Appendix E1), stating ‘In relation to the part L review, it is proposed that we go out for consultation on new dwellings before the end of the year. Let me know if you need anything further’. TG send BSTM a further email dated 16 November 2019 (Appendix E1), but there was no reply at the time of submitting this dissertation. 7. TG- Would you be interested in my research and would it contribute to any review of Approved Documents (AD’s)? BSTM - • From a personal view, I would be interested in your research • You should channel any views or ideas through a Monmouthshire Building Control Surveyor who is part of the technical working group. The working group is made up of a number of representatives, A Monmouthshire County Council building control employee has been invited as a LABC Wales representative. • You would not be invited as an individual to view the procedure as you do not represent a body. 8. TG- Would you consider improving guidance in the Approved Documents? (I have sent out 150 questionnaires – 15 returned to date & all say AD don’t provide enough practical guidance) BSTM - • I have already discussed this with the author of BS 7913 and some reference to this BS has been put into AD’s • It is unlikely we will change the AD to include specific guidance, however (there was some hesitation) if a good idea was put forward it could be considered (see item 9 below) 9. TG- Could BS 7913 be improved to include practical guidance and crossed referenced to AD? BSTM- • author of BS79130 has already discussed this BSTM
