§ Ms Rosie WintertonThere are no refurbishment projects currently in progress, but the following are planned to start within the next six months:
- Clive House, London
- GKN House, London

The Department's Environmental Policy for Building Requirements applies to major construction projects. This requires that only timber originating from sources which are managed in a sustainable and renewable manner is to be specified and directs architects towards the Forest Stewardship Council and other certification schemes.
