Expert perspectives and industry insights from leading practitioners and thought leaders
Our grumpy old man is being really rather positive this month. What has inspired this unusual turn of temperament? Well, when in February he called for someone to produce figures to justify the retention of Part P, someone did just that!
I remember the confusion when Part P was introduced and I fear that the new consultation will resurrect such consternation. As only government can, the guide to the Part P Consultation, published by the Department for Communities and Local Government, extends to 40 pages! Trust me, halfway through, one has to go back and start again to make any sense of what is actually a simple question: do we keep Part P; do we scrap it; or do we alter it a bit to reduce the burden of certificating compliance?
