Title:Eco-towns: Living a greener future - consultation paper
Organisation:DCLG
Issued:Fri 09 May 2008
Deadline: 23 June 2008
Status: CLOSED Consultation is closed for comments
Synopsis:Eco-towns offer the opportunity to achieve high standards of sustainable living while also maximising the potential for affordable housing. This consultation document seeks the public's views on the vision for eco-towns and the shortlisted locations proposed. It seeks views on:
  • the way in which the eco-towns concept is being developed and the different potential benefits that an eco-town could offer;
  • how particular features such as greenspace or innovative approaches to housing can best be developed in an eco-town;
  • preliminary views on the 15 locations going forward for further assessment
  • The IEMA are planning to provide a response to this consultation. We are seeking comments from our members in order to compile our response. We would be grateful if any member who is interested in responding could send their comments in a Word document by email to g.bower@iema.net by 23 June 2008 (so we can compile our final response in time for the 30 June deadline). The consultation document can be found below:
