In relation to condition 5 part (c), the post-construction tab of the GLA's Whole Life-Cycle Carbon Assessment template should be completed in line with the GLA's Whole Life-Cycle Carbon Assessment Guidance: LPG document template (green) (london.gov.uk). To support the results provided in the template, the following minimum evidence requirements should be submitted at the same time:

a) site energy (including fuel) use record,

b) contractor confirmation of as-built material quantities and specifications,

c) record of material delivery including distance travelled and transportation mode (including materials for temporary works),

d) waste transportation record including waste quantity, distance travelled and transportation mode (including materials for temporary works) broken down into material categories used in the assessment,

e) a list of product-specific EPDs for the products that have been installed.

The data collected at this stage will provide an evidence base that could help inform future industrywide benchmarks or performance ratings for building typologies. The postconstruction assessment should be submitted to the GLA at: ZeroCarbonPlanning@london.gov.uk, along with any supporting evidence as per the guidance. A copy and confirmation of submission to the GLA shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the local planning authority, prior to occupation of the development.
