Net Zero: what does it mean in practice?
Our first webinar in our 2022 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Webinar Series is now available to watch on-demand.
In this webinar we give an overview of what 'Net Zero' means and consider recent statutory and policy changes in England and Wales that are likely to have an impact on development projects and decision-making. We cover the practical implications of Net Zero in terms of the types of infrastructure needed to deliver it and how to address the new policy requirements in applications for planning consent. The webinar provides practical tips as well as highlighting potential challenges in this fast evolving area.
