Climate research
Planning system changes
We are upgrading our planning system, and some services will be unavailable whilst we complete the work.
From Wednesday 29 January until Thursday 6 February you will be unable to search for, view, or comment on an application. Deadlines will be extended accordingly.
Applications can be submitted through the Planning Portal, but they will not be processed during this period.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Conducting and keeping up to date climate research helps to support our policies which tackle climate change. Climate research also supports our Climate Emergency Strategy
(pdf, 8.6 MB) and Action Plan (pdf, 515 KB).
