Support this outline policy but more specific guidance/policy adjustments are needed for example to enable -
- use of non-traditional materials in conservation areas eg windows
- installation of double glazing on all pre-1914 buildings, both in and outside Conservation areas, with minimal visual harm.
- installation of solar panels/heat pumps on these buildings - but only to supplement the benefits of modern double glazing which should be a policy priority.
Explicit priority to be given to schemes which alleviate energy poverty in all tenures - can this be incentivised in some ways?
