摘要

General elections are always a good time to take stock and review how the national landscape has changed. When we last went to the polls in 2005, the Code for Sustainable Homes and updated Part L hadn't yet been published, Building Schools for the Future hadn't yet got under way, and one of the main construction-related issues was the fear that the unstoppable proliferation of new housing would carpet over the green belt. So when we're beset with today's worries, there may be some comfort in realising that we'll probably struggle to remember them in five years.
