We support this application. The retrofitting of historic properties to improve thermal performance is essential to reaching the government’s plan to reduce the UK domestic carbon account by 100% by 2050. The large percentage of historic buildings in Oxford’s portfolio demands the development of high quality, sensitive retrofit measures to reduce energy consumption and the reliance on fossil fuels.
We think that this proposal demonstrates these properties in a reversible manner, and that if implemented they would significantly improve the thermal efficiency of The Rectory with minimal impact on its heritage significance.
