The latest draft of the New London Plan was published in August 2018, and once it has been through examination in public it is expected to be adopted towards the end of 2019 or early 2020.
The draft plan contains a number of policy changes relating to sustainable construction and carbon emissions reduction, which are likely to have a material impact on energy strategies for new development. In advance of adoption, updated guidance on the calculation of carbon emissions for new developments from January 2019 has also been published, so some of the changes will impact all new applications from the start of this year.
We have reviewed the policy and supporting documents and produced a summary of the key impacts and things that our clients should be aware of – for further details please contact our office to discuss how we can help.
