I work as a Climate Change Officer at Coventry City Council and am currently doing an MSc course in renewable energy at the University of East London. For my thesis I'm looking at how English LPAs approach renewable and low carbon energy. This will involve conducting an online survey and then following this up with more in-depth study of a small number of authorities. I'm therefore looking for people to help me with my research by completing the survey. It's split into two parts, acessed separately, one covering planning policy and the other development management. Each should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete. The Policy survey is aimed at officers with a good overview of their authority's policies relating to renewable / low carbon energy, and the Development Management survey at officers with knowledge of recent planning applications for renewable / low carbon energy technologies submitted to their authority. Both surveys are accessed online. The Planning Policy survey can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CDY22MV whilst the Development Management survey is located at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/H78C75D They will run until Friday 13th April, so will need to be completed by that date. If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch: susan.smith2@coventry.gov.uk. Many thanks in anticipation for your help. Best wishes Susan Smith
