National Planning Policy Framework
Executive
Chapter 14 provides more guidance on meeting the challenge of climate change, flooding, and coastal change. The framework requires plans to take a "proactive" approach to climate adaptation and mitigation, shaping places in ways that "contribute to radical reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, minimise vulnerability and improve resilience. The chapter contains specific provisions on flood risk and coastal management. The chapter also identified a number of ways in which plans should be design to promote low carbon, decentralised energy supply.
