BREEAM Communities is a standard that helps developers, local authorities and design teams improve, measure and certify the sustainability of developments at the neighbourhood scale and beyond. It covers economic, social and environmental sustainability – assessing issues like housing provision, transport networks, community facilities, and economic impact. It helps make the concept of sustainable development tangible, by demonstrating sustainability on large planning applications. Updated in 2012, BREEAM Communities is now simpler, less prescriptive, and better aligned with the planning process. The scheme can also be applied internationally through a simple bespoke international process.
