Yvette Cooper seminar: Environmental Objectives in Housing and Planning Policy

Tuesday, 24th April 2007

Yvette Cooper, Minister for Housing and Planning, led the second seminar in the 2007 Environmental Policy Network programme on environmental objectives in housing and planning policy.

The seminar explored the contribution of DCLG policy to tackling climate change, through the promotion of sustainable development and zero-carbon housing. It examined planning controversies around microgeneration and large-scale renewables projects, exploring paths by which opposition to new developments might be overcome.

The Fabian Society's Environmental Policy Network brings together political, policy, business, civil society and academic participants to discuss key themes in environmental politics and policy.
