@andybrockman.bsky.socialThe message about #Retrofit hasn't reached all developers or local planning authorities.
Demolition begins of perfectly good and characterful Victorian shops and a pub in Woolwich.
The guilty parties here are the Royal Borough of Greenwich and developers Clarion Housing Group & The Hill Group
@andybrockman.bsky.social"A genuinely circular built environment means moving away from the assumption every project begins with virgin materials and ends with waste"
Will Hurst of the Architects Journal on the growing success of #Retrofit, with 66% of office developments in London now refurbishments rather than new build.
@cse.org.ukWe still don't know what the #WarmHomesPlan will look like in practice. And until it begins delivery, the #Retrofit sector faces a shortfall of around £1.3bn a year.
Without clear funding, timescales and delivery routes, the WHP risks becoming another missed opportunity.

@lizlaine.bsky.socialDelighted to hear #neurodivergence included in summaries of vulnerabilities in both APPGs I’m at this evening on #fuelpoverty / #healthyhomes. It’s missing in #ConsumerProtectionReform, but is a factor both in consumer need for #retrofit and how programmes are designed. Any good reads on this?
