Draft Policy Direction 46 proposes a 3km buffer around the Cotswold National Landscape but lacks clarity on development controls and assessment in this area, particularly when there are no visual connections or effective mitigation. While it aims to assist development management, the lack of specific tools raises concerns. Caution is needed to avoid overstepping the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act (2023) requirements. Conservation should prioritise the national landscape before extending to surrounding areas. I recommend that the authorities adopt a more flexible approach in the next draft, aligning with the National Landscapes Association guidance.
