BREEAM Schemes - aims & objectives

BREEAM family of schemes aim to

– Ensure best environmental practice

– Consider a broad range of environmental concerns – Balance concerns against the need for a high quality, safe and

BREEAM Communities is…

Making the process easier for developers

“We view the assessment process as cost neutral because it helps smooth out the planning process and demonstrates the high quality we would be seeking to achieve regardless.”

Supporting the EIA process

The interim assessment stage can support sustainability appraisals which are a key element of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process.

‘This is where sustainability appraisals are applied, not at the bottom end of the EIA and this is what BREEAM Communities is. This is something you should be offering to clients that wants an EIA’

Carol Somper, So sustainable

Municipality experiences: City of Malmö

– Used collaboratively with the developer

– Experts from LPA feed into design

– Not ‘required’
