Energy statement are referred to as Energy Strategy Reports, demonstrate how specific local policy energy efficiency targets will be met. These are set by the Local Planning Authority rather than National government.
Many LPA’s requests a 10%, 15% or 19% reduction in Carbon Emissions or energy use.
The Greater London Authority (GLA) have their own requirements under the ‘London Plan’. Recent changes to the London Plan dictate that all major developments within GLA will be required to be ‘zero carbon’.
If ‘zero carbon’ cannot be achieved on site then a cash in lieu contribution will be sought. The payment required is calculated up on the number of tonnes of carbon dioxide over a 30 year period.
The Greater London Authority (GLA) has established rigorous sustainability goals for new developments under its strategic London Plan.
For commercial projects across London’s 33 boroughs, developers must deliver a minimum 35% reduction in CO₂ emissions by adhering to the ‘Be Lean, Be Clean, Be Green’ energy efficiency principles.
Major residential schemes, however, face stricter standards—they must achieve net-zero carbon status. This means at least 35% of emissions cuts must be met on-site, with any remaining carbon output fully offset through a financial contribution of £1,800 per tonne of CO₂.
To secure planning approval, developers must conduct and submit a comprehensive London Plan Energy Assessment, proving compliance with these sustainability requirements. This ensures all projects align with the city’s long-term environmental objectives.
