Low and Zero Carbon Developments The planning system needs to support the delivery of the timetable for reducing carbon emissions from domestic and non-domestic buildings, and local planning authorities are expected to actively encourage smaller scale renewable energy schemes through positively expressed policies in local development documents, as stated in PPS22. Alongside criteria-based policy developed in line with PPS22, the Climate Change Supplement to PPSl recommends that local authorities consider identifying suitable areas for renewable and low-carbon energy sources, and supporting infrastructure, where this would help secure the their development.
