That this House welcomes the publication of the Future Homes Standard; notes that it includes positive measures such as requirements for solar panels, support for heat pumps, and cleaner heating; further notes that the Future Homes Standard remains insufficiently ambitious given the scale of the housing and climate crises; expresses concern that the proposed timeline delays full implementation of higher standards until 2028, meaning that many homes built in the next few years will not meet these standards; recognises that solving the housing crisis requires not just building more homes, but ensuring that they are affordable and sustainable; and calls on the Government to accelerate the implementation of the Future Homes Standard and strengthen its provisions to ensure all new homes are fit for the future.
