The Scottish Government

Volume 4
CONSULTATION

We welcome views on all aspects of this volume but in particular would welcome your answers to the following questions:

Q1. We have developed the draft guidance in a way that encourages consistency but retains the scope for flexibility and professional judgement. Do you agree that the balance is right?

Q2. The chapters on electrical installations and thermal insulation reflect new provisions and as such there is no body of experience in working with them. Do you think that the approach we have set out is useful? If not, what parts should we change and what would you suggest?

Q3. Assessing the severity of rising and penetrating damp can be difficult. Do you agree with our proposed approach for assessing houses against the rising and penetrating damp element? If not, what would be a more useful framework?

Q4. Do you think the level of detail we give in the draft guidance is appropriate? Are there areas that you would find more detail helpful?

Q5. Is the pitch and tone of the draft guidance appropriate for the audience we are aiming at? If not, how could we improve this?
