DMEI 2: Reducing Carbon Emissions

All developments are required to make the fullest contribution to minimising carbon dioxide emissions in accordance with London Plan targets.

All major development proposals must be accompanied by an energy assessment showing how these reductions will be achieved.

Proposals that fail to take reasonable steps to achieve the required savings will be resisted. However, where it is clearly demonstrated that the targets for carbon emissions cannot be met onsite, the Council may approve the application and seek an off-site contribution to make up for the shortfall.
