Climate change

• Using supplementary planning documents to address climate change locally Last updated 21 May 2010

  This case study gives examples of how local authorities are addressing climate change through sustainability SPDs. It covers communicating and implementing local requirements and opportunities for climate change mitigation, adaptation and sustainable design standards.

  

• Show me the evidence: climate change and the evidence base for core strategies Last updated 10 June 2010

  This document shares the experience from our roundtable events on how planners are developing and justifying climate change policies in core strategies.

  

• Using planning for corporate initiatives to tackle climate change Last updated 16 December 2009

  This document draws on two expert roundtables on planning and climate change we facilitated in September and October 2009. We hope it will help kickstart debate and discussion among planners on how they can put their climate change responsibilities into practice.

  

Guidance

• Climate change planning guidance Last updated 10 December 2008

  We host two sections of CLG’s guidance on the 2007 PPS 1 supplement covering implementing local policies and procedures and preparing and determining planning applications.

  

Case studies

• Dover core strategy evidence base Last updated 29 July 2010

  This case study looks at how Dover District Council developed a core strategy for sustainable development.

• Woking: energy assessments Last updated 29 July 2010

  What happens once PPS1 policy is in place? How can planners make informed decisions, and what information do developers need to understand the impacts of their development and submit with their applications? Woking have tackled this issue and developed a useful energy assessment tool.

• Broads authority: sustainability guide Last updated 29 July 2010

  Rural areas must also play a role in carbon reduction, especially where they can already see the impacts of climate change. The Broads Authority has published a sustainability guide suitable for the scale of applications in their area, which can be used by non-expert clients when commissioning development and by their architects when designing the scheme.
