Benefits to Developers

  • By Cutting CO2 emissions you can help ensure your development is granted planning approval.
  • Enhanced capital allowances (ECAs) are available where eligible ‘low carbon’ equipment is installed. ECAs allow a business to write off the total cost of this equipment against taxable profits. As a developer, it may be necessary to agree with contractors how the savings are distributed. To find out more visit http://www.eca.gov.uk/.
  • A development with lower CO2 emissions can lead to enhanced asset value, as more ‘sustainable’ properties are more attractive to prospective buyers. www.energysavingtrust.org.uk and www.wolseley.co.uk
  • Cutting CO2 emissions demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, which offers excellent PR potential and can build on any existing CSR activities. This will make your business more attractive to investors and to customers.
  • Reducing delays in the build stages of a new development can save thousands of pounds. Addressing energy use and CO2 emissions earlier on can save delays and avoid bottlenecks.
C-Plan is designed to help you take CO2 emissions and energy use into account at the early design stages of a new developments. To find out how C plan can help you, click here.
