Planning Policy Statement: Planning and Climate Change - Practice Guidance
The Planning Policy Statement (PPS) on Climate Change was published on 17 December 2007, making clear that tackling climate change is central to what is expected of good planning. The continuing challenge is to secure delivery in line with the PPS' policies. To assist practitioners in implementing the PPS, the Department has joined forces with the Homes and Communities Academy and the Planning Advisory Service to provide web-based practice guidance. This is available from the Home and Communities Academy website (external link).
The content of the web-based guidance is drawn from the living draft that was developed on behalf of Communities and Local Government by Environmental Resources Management and Faber Maunsell, and made available in March 2008. This document has been developed into a web-based resource so that it can be refreshed with emerging practice and examples.
This web-based format allows the guidance to integrate with other support and resources, including the material and facilities already provided by the Homes and Communities Academy and the Planning Advisory Service.
The guidance sits within the policy framework provided by the PPS and does not make or change policy. It is designed to secure good practice.
