Planning for Climate Change - new national guidance

This new national guidance, published on 25/4/2012 by the Town and Country Planning Asociation on behalf of the Planning and Climate Change Coalition guidance updates the earlier guide published in 2010 which itself was based on the draft Planning Policy Statement (PPS) on climate and energy, Planning for a Low Carbon Future in a Changing Climate, published in March 2010.

The guidance has been developed to reflect the Localism Act and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) through cross-sector dialogue, using the wide-ranging expertise of the Planning and Climate Change Coalition. The Guide is divided into two parts; Part 1 sets the context on climate change, Part 2 offers a set of principles and good practice guidance which local authorities and communities may find helpful in preparing their plans and implementing them through development management.

The new guide is supported and sponsored by Climate UK, the national network of climate change partnerships which includes Climate East Midlands.
