Businesses and community groups are being asked how far a city should insist on sustainable building design.
Brighton and Hove City Council is inviting people to contribute to its new planning document, which will provide guidelines on what sustainable features would be required for a building to win planning permission.
It will specify efficiency requirements for buildings in areas such as energy, water and waste. The document is expected to be adopted as council policy in 2008.
