The Reduction in Carbon in New Development SPD is a joint document produced in collaboration with Nottingham City Council and provides detailed guidance on reducing carbon emissions in new developments, supporting policies in the Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategies and the Part 2 Local Plans. Nottingham City Council adopted the SPD on 17 June. It was requested that case studies from Broxtowe be included in future versions of the document in addition to consideration of circadian rhythms.
