Answer:

We don’t have previous experience of this. However, it is something we are keen to look at and develop. Although there will be an increased cost to getting to net zero the benefits of this will outweigh the financial costs to ensure we are addressing the climate emergency.

Summary

Delivering a net zero carbon borough has many challenges. In some instances there could be an increased cost to getting to net zero, however the benefits of this will outweigh the financial costs to ensure we are addressing the climate emergency through minimising future retrofit costs and mitigating against financial and social costs associated with climate change.
