ES4 Energy Efficiency

Support measures which increase energy efficiency and which reduce energy and resource loss, by:

  1. allowing for the installation of solar panels that are sensitively incorporated and (where the development is located within the Conservation Area and does not constitute permitted development) either are not visible from the street or are physically and visually integrated into the roof and do not project above the plane of the roof (see examples below); and
  2. ensuring that all proposals involving substantial demolition demonstrate that rebuilding will deliver greater carbon savings than refurbishment, taking into account the embodied-carbon and whole-life effects of the proposed development.
