Climate change and sustainable building Planning Advice Note

The Portfolio Holders for Planning and Regulatory and Environment are requested to approve publication of a Planning Advice Note on climate change and sustainable building. This document supports the adopted development plan documents and underpins requirements for submission of planning applications. It is intended to inform and signpost applicants to information on current ways in which new buildings can be constructed to good sustainability standards. It will help to ensure all applications address these matters through completion of a checklist. The Planning Advice Note has been produced to fulfil one of our commitments in the action plan. It is one of the Environment and Climate Change Taskforce measures under the Housing (including planning) theme using the local plan process to improve the environmental performance of new homes.
