Climate Change Coalition launches first guidance for new planning framework
SWM as part of Climate UK have supported the publication of the first sector-led environmental planning guidance of its kind since the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) took effect. The Planning and Climate Change Coalition represents over 35 cross-sector organisations and is led by the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) and Friends of the Earth.
Planning for climate change - guidance for local authorities is aimed primarily at local authorities, private sector practitioners, Local Enterprise Partnerships and Local Nature Partnerships who want both to tackle climate change and to reap the positive economic benefits that solutions such as renewable energy, sustainable transport and building flood resilience can bring.
