Join in the conversation for sustainable housing solutions

** Urban Greening **   BRM Advisory recently assisted Resilient East to prepare a submission on the draft Urban Greening Strategy developed by Green Adelaide.   Through the submission, Resilient East wanted to emphasise how much progress has been made in recent years around urban greening, as well the extent of work ahead of us if we are to realise the shared ambition of a greener, cooler and more biodiverse region.   Our submission noted - the limitations of relying on voluntary measures - the importance of planning for practical things like water supply, the capacity of the nursery industry and tree valuation methodologies; and - the need for a clearer implementation and funding strategy to help translate good intent into action.   Urban greening is one of those strategic opportunities that will only be fully realised by action being driven by different organisations within their scope of influence. The Urban Greening Strategy represents a positive step forward to help stakeholders align around a shared purpose.   #UrbanGreening #BRMAdvisory Karla Billington

Huntingdonshire District Council have launched a 10-week consultation until the 27th November 2024 on the following three documents in respect of their emerging Local Plan:   - Further Issues and Options Paper; - Land Availability Assessments; and - Sustainability Appraisal.   The purpose of the Further Issues and Options Paper is to seek views on a variety of topic areas to help form the proposed policies and guide how the Council will approach issues within the new Local Plan. The Land Availability Assessment presents the assessments of sites submitted through the Call for Sites exercise and a total of 369 sites have been assessed across the District. The Sustainability Appraisal assesses all the options that have been put forward in the Further Issues and Options consultation document and the sites that have progressed to SA stage against the sustainability objectives.   The Council have also extended their Call for Sites until 31st December 2024 and are asking people to submit sites with potential for:   - Residential use (such as housing, specialist homes, moorings, care homes) - Commercial use (such as retail, leisure, industrial and logistics) - Infrastructure (such as health uses, community facilities, renewable energy) - Open space use (such as sports and recreation, allotments, biodiversity net gain, flooding safeguarding).   If you would like any assistance in understanding or providing comments on these consultation documents, please contact us on enquiries@dlpconsultants.co.uk, and our team would be happy to help.   #consultation #planning #localplan

The planning process for zero and low-carbon technologies is set to be simplified in Scotland. Revised permitted development rights have been tabled and subject to parliamentary scrutiny they are expected to come into effect from 24 May. Changes include making it easier for property owners in conservation areas to alter or replace their windows to improve the energy efficiency of their homes. Those households will also be able to install solar panels in certain circumstances. Limits on the power output of panels on non-domestic buildings will be removed, allowing businesses to install more without planning permission. The changes will bring Scotland largely in line with England where similar changes were made last November.

Today, there is region-wide consensus that housing and transportation are among the greatest issues of our time. The severe decline of affordable housing options in the Lake Tahoe Region is affecting environmental quality and the vibrancy of our communities. Safe, thriving communities help provide the infrastructure, workforce, and investment needed to ensure Lake Tahoe’s built environment supports a sustainable natural environment. A common topic in the public discourse around housing is that transportation solutions are integral to good housing solutions.
