Climate change adaptation - needed in national planning policy
October 24, 2008
The Landscape Institute has called for climate change adaptation to be included in national planning policy.
The institute has made 12 recommendations for a mission statement on landscape architecture.
Measures include incorporating objective landscape and urban design criteria into the code for sustainable homes and any future code for sustainable non-domestic buildings.
It also wants minimum regulatory standards for surface water run-off in new residential development and increased consideration of green roofs.
