New build properties should be built with eco-friendly facilities.

It seems pointless for the government to ban fossil fuelled cars, the sales of gas fired central heating boilers and to complain when the water utilities cannot cope with the rain water flooding the sewage systems when at the same time they are allowing new houses to be built without the relevant infrastructure. They should legislate that all planning consent for new builds require a charging point for electric cars, a heat exchanger for the central heating and a soak-away for rain water.
