Planning for climate adaption

LUC advised Runnymede on where renewable energy technologies would best be located within the Borough and how new developments could reduce their carbon footprint.

Improved planning policies for Runnymede will help guide flood impact reduction efforts, overheating management, water management, and the development of green infrastructure.

The study will help shape new development to contribute positively to local climate change mitigation and adaptation.

It will also help the council identify those groups most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
