Pleased to see the reference to 'planting' but would like to see reference specifically to 'tree' planting in the bracketed wording. Trees and woodland can make a significant contribution to climate change mitigation reducing the urban heat island effect, improving air quality through the absorption of particulates from vehicle emissions and other sources, resolving a range of water management issues particularly caused by extreme weather events.

The Council recognises the importance of incorporating the impact of climate change and sustainable energy use within all new development in the District. Of equal importance however is the co-existence of new energy conservation and efficiency technologies with the requirements relating to Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas. It is hoped that these sometimes conflicting objectives can be harmonised within a policy which encourages use of energy conservation measures by those living within houses of architectural significance.
