Decision details

The Low Carbon Supplementary Planning Document is a joint publication between Broxtowe and Nottingham City Council and provides detailed guidance on reducing carbon emissions in new developments, supporting policies in the Aligned Core Strategy and Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan.

The document outlines strategies for energy efficiency, use of renewable energy, and sustainable construction, aligning with both councils' climate emergency declarations and carbon reduction goals. The production of a Supplementary Planning Document is also one of the strategic aims within the Climate Change and Green Futures Strategy (2023-2027).

RESOLVED that:

1.               the publication of the draft Low Carbon Supplementary Planning Document for a period of public consultation be approved.

2.               To delegate authority to the Head of Planning and Economic Development to approve any minor changes (e.g. presentational, typographical and grammatical) prior to public consultation commencing.

Reason

The power currently exists to adopt Supplementary Planning Documents to provide more detail and guidance in relation to Local Plan Policies. The Council therefore has the power to release these documents for consultation in accordance with the relevant statutory procedure.
