Climate Change Study - good examples
I am looking to procure a Climate Change Study to provide up to date evidence for our Local Plan and was wondering if anyone has any good examples of similar studies, and any briefs that they would be willing to share?
BNote the EA new flood maps were released just last month, which take into consideration climate change. So whichever study you follow, do make sure the latest maps are the source.
Hi
We don't have a climate change study as such, but did commission work on our proposed climate change policies in the draft Sandwell Local Plan, which has now been submitted for examination. https://www.sandwell.gov.uk/planning-planning-policy/sandwell-local-plan-examination/4 about a third of the way down the page.
Hi Tracey,
Cornwall Council has carried out a Climate Risk Assessment.
See: The impact of climate change - Cornwall Council.
We also have a Climate Emergency DPD.
Contact climatechange@cornwall.gov.uk for more details.
Hope that helps.
We produced a Climate Change Topic Paper to help inform the Reg 19 South Tyneside Local Plan: Climate Change Topic Paper (2024) - South Tyneside Council
Our Spelthorne Climate Change SPD was adopted in April 2024. We plan to update and readopt it if/when our Local Plan is adopted later this year. https://www.spelthorne.gov.uk/media/27475/Climate-Change-SPD/pdf/Spelthorne_Climate_Change_SPD.pdf?m=1739447346403
