The planning system has failed to halt a rise in the number of new homes planned in areas of flood risk, according to a report produced for the Government by the Committee on Climate Change. The report from the Adaptation Sub-Committee (ASC) further argues that coalition Government’s policy of more localised planning could undermine emerging strategic approaches to considering climate change risks. This is the ASC’s 2nd assessment of how well the UK is prepared to deal with climate change impacts and risks. It sets out a range of indicators against which the UK’s progress will be measured, and focuses on three priority areas of land-use planning, managing water resources, and the design and renovation of buildings as adaptation measures.
