Where the project goes through outline business case approval, the development will be expected to also comply with the requirement for BREEAM (where the âthresholdsâ outlined in KBCN0472 are met). This is in line with the fact that all UK health authorities support the Governmentsâ commitment to the sustainable development agenda and recognises the importance of delivering on this agenda through the design and build process.
In Scotland, project specific requirements in relation to the BREEAM assessment will be dealt with by Health Facilities Scotland as part of the NHS Scotland Design Assessment Process.
