§ Norman BakerTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister whether a building research establishment environmental assessment method document has been prepared for the refurbishment at Eland House. [96402]
§ Mr. LeslieThere are no current plans for a major refurbishment of Eland House. Eland House did have a Design Stage, the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) assessment in 1995, when its fit out for the then Department of the Environment was nearing completion. A Very Good rating was achieved.
Recent works to remodel two floors for open plan accommodation did not significantly alter the design of the building and thus did not require a specific BREEAM assessment.
