When considering applications for development within the setting of a heritage
asset, local planning authorities should treat favourably applications that preserve
those elements of the setting that enhance the significance of the asset. When
considering applications that do not do this, local planning authorities should weigh
any loss of enhancement of the asset against the wider benefits of the application.
Reflecting the importance Government attaches to development that contributes to
the wider principles of sustainable development, such benefits may include the
wider benefits associated with increased production of energy from low or zerocarbon
sources. The greater the negative impact on the significance of the asset, the
greater the benefits that will be needed to justify approval.
YP-
so the carbon footprint can diminish a significance if a LA is running alittle on the high side of Zero Carbon?
