Locating new housing in/around conurbations provides the best opportunity and cost-effectiveness for managed neighbourhood energy schemes.

The use, maintenance and care of infrastructure and public areas contribute to quality of life. This sense of place engenders public respect for and identification with the built environment and is instrumental in combating vandalism. The Core Strategy should contain commitments to improving the architectural landscape of towns and villages.
Dumping of waste in the countryside should be more actively discouraged.

New building design should achieve and emphasise contextual relationship with existing historic buildings, though not necessarily imitating in pastiche the historic idiom.
