Recommendations are based on key findings from the following reports: • A systematic review of UK Local Planning Authority (LPA) planning policy-link to summary, link to full paper (Graham et al., 2024). • Viewpoints from LPAs UK embodied carbon regulation-link to report (Graham et al., 2025). • Projected embodied carbon emissions from England's buildings by location, type and regulatory level-link to report (Gillot et al., 2025).
