Decision details

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD) are documents which add further detail to the policies in the Local Plan. They can be used to provide further guidance for development on specific sites, or on specific issues. SPDs are a material consideration in planning decisions but are not part of the statutory development plan.

The Reduction in Carbon in New Development SPD is a joint document produced in collaboration with Nottingham City Council and provides detailed guidance on reducing carbon emissions in new developments, supporting policies in the Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategies and the Part 2 Local Plans. Nottingham City Council adopted the SPD on 17 June.

It was requested that case studies from Broxtowe be included in future versions of the document in addition to consideration of circadian rhythms.

RESOLVED that the Reduction of Carbon in New Development as a Supplementary Planning Document, be adopted.

Reason

The SPD seeks to contribute to the Council's Environment Objective of reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality.
