Dear Planning Inspectorate,
Carbon literacy is a training award based on a short course usually delivered
within organisations (see
[1]https://carbonliteracy.com/organisation/... ). Since Local Plans
and Planning Management Decisions require an understanding of authorities'
obligations under the Climate Change Act (2008) and the Planning and Compulsory
Purchase Act (2004), Inspectors will need to be carbon literate.
Please supply details of training provided to inspectors that meets the
standard of the Carbon Literacy Project or otherwise equips inspectors in
making decisions and recommendations that appropriately take account of the
need to radically reduce all sources of carbon emissions.
This can be provided in tabular form, identifying numbers of inspectors and the
training type. Please supply this information for the 5 years to the end of
March, 2023.
Thank you,

Yours faithfully,

Mark H Burton
