ECO-TOWNS AND KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER

That this House welcomes the involvement of the Low Carbon Innovation Centre at the University of East Anglia in the proposed development of an eco-community at Rackheath in Norfolk; commends the Low Carbon Innovation Centre and developers Barrett Strategic and Building Partnerships for working together to ensure university expertise and robust scrutiny are brought to the development phase of the pioneering venture; believes that this example of knowledge transfer from universities should be replicated across all sectors of the built environment to promote carbon reduction; and congratulates all parties on their proposals being recognised by the Department for Communities and Local Government as the only scheme-rated A for suitability on the list of eco-town proposals being considered by the Department for Communities and Local Government.
