C-Plan for Developers

Developers of new buildings are increasingly being required, during the early stages of a planning application, to provide information about energy consumption and carbon dioxide  emissions of new developments.

Where planning authorities require you to meet specific renewable energy or carbon dioxide targets, all planning applications must show how proposed developments will meet these. This will often involve producing an energy statement.

Why cut CO2 Emissions?

Cutting CO2 emissions in new buildings helps in obtaining planning approval and can also lead to increased returns and reduced project delays.

What you need to do

To comply with planning policy you will need to produce an energy statement, detailing energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This section provides detail on the criteria a local authority will use to judge energy statements and on the options available to meet these criteria.
