The question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-19916 by Gillian Martin on 31 July 2023, what progress has been made towards reviewing building standards to require the use of swift bricks and other features to support birds.
The answer
Noting the answers previously provided to questions S6W-19916 on 31 July 2024, S6W-26193 and S6W-26194 on 28 March 2024 on this topic, I can confirm it remains our intent to review standard 7.1 (statement of sustainability) to consider further opportunities for building regulations to make a positive contribution to biodiversity within new developments. As this standard sets out additional voluntary actions a developer may adopt, it would promote but not require specific provisions, such as the use of swift bricks, in new buildings.
