Using the planning system to reduce transport emissions
• Specification of minimum emissions standards to be achieved by service vehicles accessing the site
• Residential car parking with a graduated annual charge depending on Euro standard and/or vehicle VED rating
• Contributions to enhance provision of local public transport, supporting deployment of low emission technologies
• Provision of electrical vehicle charging points
• Provision of car club, deploying low emission vehicles
Some Key Planning Measures…
‘a package of policies & measures…’
‘secured through a combination of planning conditions & legal obligations…’
‘to mitigate the transport impacts of development by accelerating the uptake of low emission transport fuels and technologies in and around a new development…’
‘Encouraging wider adoption of low emission strategies by local authorities and supporting the effective use of associated policies and measures’

Putting it into practice – Phase II
The Low Emission Strategies Partnership – Phase II (2009-11)
• Principles of planning based low emission strategies well established (National practice guidance under preparation)
• Phase I programme into final stages. (projects heading to completion for end of 2009)
• Phase II will build on Phase I (Oct 09 – Mar 11)– The Low Emission Toolkit
– Regional Groups Initiative
– Re-launch of the Low Emissions Forum
