One of the main aims of the council's Unitary Development Plan (UDP) is to encourage sustainable development. As well as policies in the plan itself, a range of supplementary guidance has also been prepared, most recently on green construction.
The planning division also works with other partners on the Local Agenda 21 for Islington, and has recently secured funding for an important new project called CARRA that aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to raise awareness about this important issue.
In terms of its own performance, the council has an agreed divisional environmental policy and is developing an environmental management system.
