Social housing net zero standard: consultation

7. Timetable for the SHNZS

7.1.1 This consultation will run from November 2023 to March 2024, following which the Scottish Government will commission an independent analysis of the feedback received. The EESSH2 Review Group will be asked to consider the final design of the proposed SHNZS based on the consultation and that analysis, ahead of the Scottish Government publishing its final response.

7.1.2 Once that final response is published, the Scottish Housing Regulator will engage with social landlords on the Charter indicators needed for reporting performance against the target. The Scottish Government will also publish guidance for landlords on compliance with the new SHNZS.

7.1.3 Charter indicators and guidance will be in place before landlords are asked to collect data for reporting purposes. Data collection will be aligned with landlord’s business year (April to March).

7.1.4 Based on the anticipated timeline, we would expect that the new SHNZS is introduced in 2025 at the earliest.
