Planning for Circular Construction
Overview
This webinar for planners and planning consultants will delve into planning policy and how it can influence and support the development of a more circular construction sector.
It will explore how circular economy statements and whole life carbon appraisals are changing the dynamics of the retrofit vs new build for buildings, and the wider benefits, including social value, of retaining and reusing buildings and materials.
It will also explore how increasingly granular pre-deconstruction audits and related tools and guidance are now required by some planning authorities in London, and how these are starting to have a positive impact in terms of identifying reuse opportunities for buildings and materials, and what this means in terms of reducing carbon impact and increasing resource efficiency.
In addition to featuring developments in planning policy for London, we will also be examining major cities and regions across the UK are developing their approaches and also consider relevant instruments and policy across Europe.
