Emissions Assessment and Certification for Development Sites
November 2012
A National Low Emission Assessment and Certification scheme for new Developments.
A joint team from CAG and STS has recently completed a scoping study, on behalf of the Partnership, to review progress and chart a realistic path for development of a ‘National Low Emission Assessment and Certification scheme for Development Sites’. The study builds on previous work by the Partnership and wider local authorities exploring assessment methods for classifying site based Low Emission Strategies. A key concept is that the scheme aims to assess and rate the transport emissions performance of a development and provide a standardised rating or 'badge'. This makes the approach very practical and action focussed.
The Partnership is now considering the findings and plans to take forward the recommendations through its work in 2013.
