PlanLoCaL (‘Planning for Low Carbon Living') is a major project and the focus of CSE's work for communities. At its heart is the recognition that, for communities to identify, plan for, and implement the best low-carbon solutions for their local area, they need various strands of support.It

The less electricity they used, the more cash they won - hence the name, 'Less is More'. WPD is one of the UK's distribution network operators (DNOs) - those LOW-CARBON RETROFITTING Low-carbon retrofitting. We all want to live in a home that’s warm and healthy for our family.

But, out of the heat you lose from your home, you actually lose about 35% through the walls, about 25% through the roof, and only about 10% through the windows.

ROOM HEATERS

Room heaters are used to heat a small space and are normally portable or fitted to a wall. Most room heaters use gas or electricity. Room heaters are convenient appliances that provide focused and localised heat which is particularly suitable in a room for people that are elderly, ill or with limited mobility.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANS

Neighbourhood plans. Neighbourhood planning offers communities the opportunity to develop a positive vision of their future. Pioneering towns, villages and neighbourhoods are already mapping out ambitious plans that will improve quality of life and at the same time make the transition to a low carbon energy and transport system.
