C-Plan for Local Authorities

Do you have sustainable energy planning policies? C-Plan can help you implement them and reduce CO₂ emissions from new developments

Implementing sustainable energy and carbon emissions reduction policies is a new challenge for planning authorities. Often, assessing new developments for compliance requires a level of technical expertise that local authorities seldom have in-house.

C-Plan makes it easy for planning authorities to gather the right information from developers, to validate that information against their carbon reduction policy criteria and to monitor and report the outcomes on an authority-wide basis.

How does it work?

C-Plan links together planners and developers, managing the flow of information between them and providing them with tools for compliance checking, tracking and reporting.

Information exchanges between developers and planners are streamlined using business process management (workflow) and automatic e-mail notifications. The workflow updates a dynamic task list which routes planners and developers through the compliance process from pre-application, best practice advice, through compilation and onto submission of carbon performance data, verification and approval.

Gathering and Checking Data from Developers C-Plan gathers a consistent format of energy statement data from developers which captures all necessary information. Discover how this process leads to more accurate data gathering here.
