Climate Change and Energy

Category Overview

Below are the questions within Climate Change and Energy. The questions are grouped by issue.

You can also view all the questions within Climate Change and Energy on one page.

To ensure that new developments are appropriately adapted to the impacts of present and future climate change and to minimise their own impact on greenhouse gases, flooding, heat gain, water resources and water quality.

Read the background on Climate Change and Energy

Flooding
1.1	To ensure that sites and developments take due account of flood risk, and where it is present, take appropriate measures.
1.2	To reduce the risk of flooding on proposed development sites and adjacent areas of land
Heat Island
1.3	To reduce the heat island effect inherent to urban areas through passive design measures.
Water Efficiency
1.4	To reduce the overall consumption of clean water for non-potable uses.
1.5	To ensure that roof space is used productively to minimise water demand and manage water run-off on the site.
Sustainable Energy
1.6	To increase the overall efficiency of the development through energy efficient design and management.
1.7	To promote the increased use of renewable energy sources to reduce dependence on fossil fuels producing CO₂ emissions.
1.8	To increase the use of sustainable heating techniques.
1.9	To encourage the integration of solar/pv technologies during the design stage.
1.10	To encourage the future use of active solar technologies where they are not initially supplied.
Site Infrastructure
1.11	To provide easy access to site service and communications infrastructure, with minimal requirement disruption and need for reconstruction, and allowing for future growth in services.
1.12	To ensure that the masterplan considers the site wide distribution of on-site produced renewable energy.
1.13	To evolve an energy management scheme and provide the public with easy access to renewable energy information.
