Purpose

This report
illustrates the cost and actions required to properly scope the
feasibility of accelerating the decarbonisation target, our pledge
to become Net Zero by 2035 and expanding it to include social
housing. The recommendations listed below are provided to enable
the successful application of the review.

Decision

AGREED
 

1.                 
The creation of a Working Party made up of Members
and Officers, listed in section 3.1 be endorsed by Portfolio
Holders.

2.                 
That the timeline at section 4.0 is noted
 

Reasons for the decision

To ensure that the
work undertaken and delivered by The Carbon Trust is properly
scrutinised, in line with the specific requirements of NSDC and the
Community Action Plan.

Alternative options considered

The alternative is to
not engage with the Carbon Trust and continue with our own gradual
decarbonisation plan as it stands. This would be without the
skills, expertise, benchmarking and granular detail The Carbon
Trust can provide.
