  1. The planning response to climate change Peter Bide Planning Directorate Office of the Deputy Prime Minister

  2. PPS1: Delivering Sustainable Development Development plans should “contribute to global sustainability by addressing the causes and potential impacts of climate change - through policies which reduce energy use, reduce emissions ... promote the development of renewable energy resources, and take climate change impacts into account in the location and design of development”

  3. PPS12: Local Development Frameworks • “Climate change is a significant environmental threat, the effects of which will be increasingly felt in future years. The Government attaches great importance to acting on a precautionary basis to reduce the emissions that cause climate change and to prepare for its impacts”

  4. PPS12: Local Development Frameworks • Avoid major development in areas at greater risk • Take account of : • constraints on development • Pressure on resources • Affects on habitats and biodiversity • Adaptation options for vulnerable areas • Developing information

  5. Other Planning guidance on mitigation • PPS22: Renewable Energy • PPG13: Transport and PPS6: Town Centres • PPS10: Sustainable waste management • PPG3: Housing • PPS7: Sustainable development in rural areas • PPS23: Planning and pollution control

  6. Planning guidance on adaptation • PPG25: Development and flood risk • PPG20: Coastal planning • PPG14: Development on unstable land • PPS9: Biodiversity and geological conservation

  7. The Planning Response: Key Points • Act now • Make the links • Spread the word • Use existing tools • Use planning instruments

  8. Better Practice Guide:how it works • Context • Topics • Appraisal • Implementation

  9. Taking forward the planning response • Transport • Coastal development • Energy • Carbon reduction in buildings • Planning for micro-renewables • Limits on planning as delivery mechanism • Resources
