2.42 The Government is committed to successive improvements in new-build standards through changes to Part L of the Building Regulations in England and their equivalents within the Devolved Administrations. In October 2010, the new regulations in England and Wales introduced a 25% improvement on 2006 carbon emissions standards for new buildings, while regulation in Scotland delivered a 30% reduction on their 2007 standards. In England, the current review of the Building Regulations is looking at opportunities for further improvements planned for 2013 where these can be achieved while meeting our deregulatory aim. The Government intends to consult on these changes shortly. The review of Part L will also look at ways of generating take-up of greater levels of energy efficiency measures in existing buildings in order to help support demand for the Green Deal. 2.43 In December 2010, the Government committed that all new non-domestic buildings in England would be zero carbon from 2019. And in the Plan for Growth,37 published alongside Budget 2011, the Government committed that all new homes from 2016 would be zero carbon. In driving investment in local low carbon energy generation and energy efficiency, zero carbon policy can work closely with local spatial planning in contributing to future growth. 2.44 We also need to tackle the performance of the existing building stock, and ensure that the poorest and most vulnerable households are able to heat their homes affordably, in line with the aim of the Government's efforts to tackle fuel poverty and achieve the statutory target.38
