Sustainable Design and Construction SPD

As part of its local planning strategy the council has prepared a Sustainable Design and Construction Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) in order to provide detailed advice on improving the sustainability performance of buildings and spaces. It covers a range of areas including energy efficiency, renewable energy, water and waste management, materials, biodiversity and pollution, and be applicable to the full range of building types (e.g. residential, office, etc.) across the Royal Borough.

The SPD draws on established best practice guidance and methodologies in setting out requirements and advice on acceptable building performance and has been subject to scrutiny through Sustainability Appraisal (SA).

The SPD forms part of the Local Development Framework (LDF). It and the accompanying sustainability appraisal were adopted by the council in June 2009 and are available to download below.
