During appraisal the Bank’s services will verify whether an EIA is required and the screening decision of the relevant authority. The procuring authority has set high requirements for the achievement of a sustainable development including: - A dedicated energy centre - Retention/ re-use of all landscaping material - Provision of a Sustainable Urban Drainage Scheme. The specific energy efficiency and renewable energy consumption targets will be verified during appraisal.
