Planning and Climate Change Guide Published

DateFriday, November 26, 2010
Topic Governance [4] Greenhouse Gas Emissions & Climate Change [5] Sustainable Development [6] Environment [7] Governance & Civic Participation [8]

The Government has signalled a radical shift of responsibility to local authority and community levels. A guide designed primarily for local authorities and new Local Enterprise Partnerships [2] who want both to tackle climate change and to reap the benefits that renewable energy and effective adaptation can bring has been published.

It draws explicitly on the draft Planning Policy Statement (PPS) on climate and energy, Consultation on a Planning Policy Statement: Planning for a Low Carbon Future in a Changing Climate [3], published in March 2010, and it seeks to reflect the wide-ranging consensus which that document commanded.

The policy has been developed through cross-sector dialogue, using the wide-ranging expertise of the Planning and Climate Change Coalition partners. A separate ‘plain English' community guide to planning and climate change will also be available from Friends of the Earth.
