Evidence base development and research

Planning policy advice

Stakeholder engagement

Working with Hive Land and Planning, the strategy will form part of a Development Plan Document to guide the development and help deliver the Borough’s Carbon Reduction Strategy target of a net zero carbon economy by 2038.

The study focussed on four interrelated themes:

- Net zero carbon and active travel

- Net zero carbon energy supply and use

- Flexible living and working

- Climate resilience

The study explored the interaction between the drivers of climate change, technology, societal and economic change, and the resulting revolutions in net zero carbon movement, energy supply and use, flexible living and working and climate resilience. Researching these and hosting workshops with key stakeholders allowed the team to advise on spatial choices and identify the infrastructure needed in the decades to come. Outcomes included planning policies, a supporting evidence base and a suite of mechanisms to secure their delivery.

TRP will defend the draft planning policies at a forthcoming Examination for the draft DPD.
