Draft Policy Direction 48 is disproportionate and lacks clarity, particularly in its approach to requiring Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIAs), which could place excessive burdens on small developments. The policy also places undue weight on landscape harm, potentially leading to a presumption against development on greenfield sites, despite the housing need. A more balanced approach is required to ensure landscape considerations do not override other key planning factors such as housing delivery and economic benefits and sustainable development.
