When should
remedial action be
taken?
What remedial action should be taken?
Impacts
Emissions of CO 2 by
source (LSF Indicator)
Annual
When annual total
emissions of CO 2 by
source show
unfounded increases.
If levels of CO 2 emissions by source show
unexpected increases it will be necessary
to identify the cause and undertake an
appropriate remedial action.
Per capita reduction
in CO 2 emissions
(NI186)
Annual
When expected
reduction in CO 2
emissions per capita is
not achieved.
When reduction in CO 2 emissions per
capita is not achieved it will be necessary
to identify the cause and undertake an
appropriate remedial action.
Energy use per capita
(LSF Indicator)
Annual
When expected
reduction in energy
use per capita is not
achieved.
When reduction in energy use per capita
is not achieved it will be necessary to
identify the cause and undertake an
appropriate remedial action.
Electricity and heat
production from
renewable energy
sources and CHP
located in the area
Annual
When a planning
application is
submitted and shows
inadequate levels of
energy provision from
a renewable source.
Greater weight will be given to the
consideration of air quality and climate
change impacts and their mitigation.
Conditions will be imposed to increase the
provision of energy from renewable
sources.
% new homes

Sustainable Homes
Levels 3, 4, and 5 and

Annual
When a planning
application is
submitted.
Encourage improvement in sustainable
home building and promote development,
which meets Code for Sustainable Homes
Levels 3, 4, and 5 and commercial
buildings meeting BREEAM ‘very good’ or
‘excellent’ standards.
Adaptation
Properties at risk of
flooding (LSF
Indicator)
Number of schemes
with flood mitigation
measures
Number of additional
homes where flood
risk has been
reduced (LSF
Indicator)
Annual
When a planning
application is
submitted.
At the planning application stage, a Flood
Risk Assessment (FRA) will be required for
development proposals of 1 hectare or
greater in Flood Zone 1 and all proposals
for new development located in Flood
Zones 2 and 3. Assessment of surface
water, drainage, and residual risk will be
required as part of a FRA.
New developments will be encouraged to
use Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS)
to manage runoff and reduce flood risk.
Number of planning
permissions granted
in accordance with
the advice of the
Environment Agency
on flood defence
grounds (LSF
Indicator)
