What are Sustainability Assessments?
Many planning authorities now require a planning application to include a comprehensive Sustainability Statement for a development.
A Sustainability Statement is a report which outlines how a proposed development will meet the standards set out in its local authority planning policy.
The content and format of Sustainability Statement vary from one local authority to the next, but will normally cover the following issues;
- Carbon Emissions
- Energy Efficiency
- Renewable Energy
- Construction Materials
- Biodiversity
- Water resources
- Waste Management
- Flood Risk
- Sustainable Transport
Third Stone can prepare a statement which will demonstrate how local planning policy targets can be satisfied.
Our Sustainability Statements can play an important role in achieving planning consent for a development.
If you require details on Sustainability Statements, please contact Third Stone to find out more.
