Arun District Council has an ambitious “Zero Carbon” objective for the Council’s own activities with a target to achieve this by 2030 as the Council’s contribution to the Environment and Climate Emergency, (Arun District Council Carbon Neutral Strategy 2022-2030).

The Council’s strategy excludes the carbon emissions related to occupation of our social housing stock. This report asks committee to approve the adoption of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Strategy and action plan (Appendix 1) and to approve the making of an application to the Social Housing Decarbonisation Grant (run by the Department for Business, Enterprise and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)) for £3,000,000 to improve SAP ratings of 300 properties to achieve a minimum C Rating.
