Good air quality and overall environmental quality results in a better quality of life (mental and physical) with reduces demand for health services.
Sustainable buildings are essential. Renewable energy (wind, solar) should be encouraged to reduce overall energy demand.

Architectural heritage is greatly valued throughout the district and its preservation is important to preserve the district’s character. Careful design can develop variation with the aim of achieving sustainable buildings. Some Scandinavian design buildings have received consent on sustainability grounds but these need careful placing in the landscape.
