Sustainable Construction
With “sustainable development” now underpinning all aspects of planning, this recently developed workshop aims to answer the fundamental question as to what this means for development management and the planning application process? The workshop is suitable for all planning staff, but particularly for those involved in pre-application negotiations and processing applications. It provides an understanding of sustainable construction techniques that can be applied to a range of developments. It addresses issues such as what is sustainable development and the methods of achieving the concept; how to reduce the water, waste and energy needs of a development; and how to maximise on-site renewable energy generation. It looks at how site topography can influence sustainable development decisions; how to understand the constraints of a site; how best to overcome potential barriers; and examines the tools available to local authorities to assist in negotiation with developers. The workshop also examines how planning conditions can be framed to ensure sustainable construction is achieved.
