Low Emission Strategies

WELCOME TO THE Low Emission Strategies (LES) website!
Low Emission Strategies (LES) provide an essential model to ensure new developments are designed with the lowest environmental impact possible.
Development and regeneration have potential to generate traffic and congestion leading to air pollution and increased emissions of carbon dioxide. LES help to tackle both problems.
LES can be implemented through the planning system. This is done by applying a combination of measures tailored to an individual site. This may, for example, include a Low Emission Zone where site access is restricted for dirty or in-efficient vehicles. The approach is particularly effective when applied in combination with complimentary measures such as smarter choices, green travel planning and public transport investment.
The primary aim of LES is to accelerate the uptake of low emission fuels and technologies in and around a development site. Some authorities are already making effective use of LES, while others are struggling to take full advantage! Read more
