Are you concerned about climate change, but frustrated about how slowly the country is reacting?
There is much that the planning system can do to support the national effort to achieve a zero carbon, climate adapted future. But many local plans – where councils set out the planning policies which regulate how development takes place - don’t go nearly far enough and levels of public engagement are low.
The Centre for Sustainable Energy and Town and Country Planning Association are seeking funding to support communities to engage with their council and its local plan in order to press for changes. But we need evidence that the programme is needed, and that people with high levels of concern about climate change will engage with local planning policy-making if given the right support.
Please help us make the case by responding to the survey below. Whilst some of the policies might be more widely applicable, the programme will be designed for the English planning system.
