PPS1: Delivering
Sustainable Development
Development plans should “contribute to
global sustainability by addressing the
causes and potential impacts of climate
change - through policies which reduce
energy use, reduce emissions ... promote the
development of renewable energy resources,
and take climate change impacts into account
in the location and design of development”
PPS12: Local Development
Frameworks
“Climate change is a significant environmental
threat, the effects of which will be increasingly
felt in future years. The Government attaches
great importance to acting on a precautionary
basis to reduce the emissions that cause climate
change and to prepare for its impacts”
