2 Design and Heritage<br />
2.0.32 The council encourages everyone to minimise their use <strong>of</strong> fossil fuel and reduce their<br />
energy use (see chapter 3 for policies covering the requirements for CO 2<br />
and use <strong>of</strong><br />
renewable energy in developments). However, some micro-generation equipment can be<br />
visually intrusive and damage the character <strong>of</strong> a building and area. While there may be<br />
occasions when climate change objectives conflict with conservation <strong>of</strong> heritage assets,<br />
many opportunities exist for enhancing energy efficiency, use <strong>of</strong> renewable energy and<br />
improved adaptation to climate change in historic buildings without negatively impacting<br />
on their heritage value.<br />

and their surroundings, or conservation area or other heritage asset, and<br />
