How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Presentation contents Other training modules in the series Climate change and extreme weather Adapting to flood risk Adapting to limit water availability Adapting to heat stress Case studies (from a range of regions) Adaptation and planning process Links to further information

  4. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Other training modules in the series Statutory drivers for adaptation Making the business case for adaptation Green Infrastructure as an adaptation response How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Addressing weather and climate risks through neighbourhood planning Achieving resilience to climate risks through local plans and supplementary planning guidance

  5. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Learning objectives Understand how climate change could result in high intensity and more frequent extreme weather events. Know where to go to get information on how to identify extreme weather risks in their area. Understand how buildings and developments can be designed to adapt to these risks. Understand the opportunities available to adapt buildings and developments through the planning process.

  6. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather What are the challenges for developments and buildings? M Brodie, Alamy PSL Images, Alamy

  7. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Identifying future climate risks and extreme weather in your area Principles: Use local plan evidence base and assessments undertaken for strategic sites Existing areas affected by extreme weather could be affected more in the future Areas not currently affected could be in the future, for example: Flood risk: low lying coastal areas and areas near rivers Water availability: in catchments that are highly urbanised, have lower than average rainfall and rely on ground water Subsidence: areas with clay soils Overheating / Urban Heat Island: buildings in large urban areas, community buildings occupied during the day, south facing buildings (in particular those with only one aspect)

  8. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Adapting buildings and developments to increased flood risk

  9. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Avoiding flood risk

  10. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Flood resistance, resilience and recovery measures

  11. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Adapting buildings and developments to limited water availability

  12. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Adapting buildings and developments to limited water availability

  13. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Adapting buildings and developments to heat waves – building orientation and environment

  15. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Adapting buildings and developments to subsidence Vegetation management Surface erosion control structures Sustainable Urban Drainage Foundation design

  16. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Case studies: adaptation in policy and guidance

  17. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Case studies: adaptation in masterplans and buildings

  18. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Case studies: adaptation in buildings

  19. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Implementation of adaptation measures in the planning process - opportunities There are opportunities to promote adaptation of buildings and developments through: Planning policy in Local Plans and Supplementary Planning Guidance Neighbourhood Planning Influencing design of development during pre-application discussions Use of planning conditions and enforcement New build development and refurbishment / change of use Sustainable construction standards include adaptation measures – some developments are required to or voluntarily build to these standards.

  20. How developments and buildings can be adapted so that they are resilient to climate change and extreme weather Implementation of adaptation measures in the planning process – key players When considering how to adapt buildings during the planning process it is important the following parties work together: Local authorities Developers Project Design Teams Community Groups Statutory Bodies including EA, Water Companies, Highways Authorities
