This technical advice note (TAN) supports the South Downs Local Plan Climate Action Policies, the Landscape Polices and Heritage Policies, as well as the Partnership Management Plan: for appropriate improvements in energy efficiency of historic buildings and historic areas whilst supporting sustainability.
The TAN provides guidance on appropriate proposals, methods and development within the South Downs National Park.
The TAN explains how to begin retrofitting; understand the building, repair, reduce demand, then low-level changes, moving to the larger ones with planning applications.
