  1. Low Emission Strategies Rob Pilling(Programme Manager) Sheffield, 15th September 2009 web: www.lowemissionstrategies.orgemail: info@lowemissionstrategies.org

  2. Low Emission Strategies • LES - using the planning system to reduce transport emissions • LES Programme – Phase I (Jul 08 – Dec 09) • LES Programme – Phase II (Sep 09 – Mar 11)

  3. Using the planning system to reduce transport emissions Proposed Development Options include: Travel planning,Smarter choicesPublic transport, Road charging Business as usual Trips Fewer Journeys Increasing acceptabilityof development Current Emissions Mode Shift Baseline Technology Residual Emissions Low Emission Development Options include: Hybrids, Electric, Biogas, Biofuel and Hydrogen Target

  4. Some Key Planning Measures… • Specification of minimum emissions standards to be achieved by service vehicles accessing the site • Residential car parking with a graduated annual charge depending on Euro standard and/or vehicle VED rating • Contributions to enhance provision of local public transport, supporting deployment of low emission technologies • Provision of electrical vehicle charging points • Provision of car club, deploying low emission vehicles

  5. ‘a package of policies & measures…’ ‘to mitigate the transport impacts of development by accelerating the uptake of low emission transport fuels and technologies in and around a new development…’ ‘secured through a combination of planning conditions & legal obligations…’

  6. ‘Encouraging wider adoption of low emission strategies by local authorities and supporting the effective use of associated policies and measures’

  7. Low Emission Strategies Programme – Phase I (2008-09) Beacons LES Guidance Workshops, Training & Qualifications Peer Group Initiative Policy & Guidance Case studies & Dissemination Programme Board, Advisory Group and Independent Evaluation Communications Strategy (website, newsletter, PR plan)

  11. The Low Emission Strategies Partnership – Phase II (2009-11)

  12. Summary • Principles of planning based low emission strategies well established (National practice guidance under preparation) • Phase I programme into final stages. (projects heading to completion for end of 2009) • Phase II will build on Phase I (Oct 09 – Mar 11) • The Low Emission Toolkit • Regional Groups Initiative • Re-launch of the Low Emissions Forum • LESP/RTPI Planners workshopsweb: www.lowemissionstrategies.org email: info@lowemissionstrategies.org
