Welcome to C-Plan
Measuring, monitoring and reporting on the carbon impacts of new buildings
C-Plan is an innovative web-based service, developed by ECSC, that allows planning authorities and developers to demonstrate and verify compliance with climate change policy.
C-Plan links together planners and developers, providing them with tools for compliance checking, tracking, reporting and managing the flow of information between them.
C-Plan offers a collaborative online environment which allows local authorities to collect and assess energy statement data to ensure compliance with planning policy
The C-Plan service helps to identify the CO2 emissions of a proposed development and generate a suitable reduction target.
News & Events
C-Plan goes live in Three Rivers District Council
Peter Kerr, Chief Development Plan and Transportation Officer, at Three Rivers District Council, says:
"Although we've only been using C-Plan for a short time, it has already become a vital tool in implementing new policies to tackle climate change. Our DC officers were getting increasingly concerned about how to properly quantify and report on the carbon efficiency of new developments. C-Plan's first-class online platform now allows us to monitor this easily and efficiently, making the whole process seamless and much more targeted."
