Policy Direction 48 – Protecting and Enhancing Landscape Character
10.25.
This policy direction is broadly supported. However, it should be noted that NPPF §135(c) does state that whilst development should be sympathetic to the surrounding landscape, this should not prevent or discourage appropriate innovation or change, such as increased densities. This should be acknowledged within the policy.
10.26.
It is affirmed that it is unnecessary for all major developments to provide Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA) as currently suggested. This will need to be fully justified, and such justification has not been provided within the Preferred Options document. The need for an LVIA should be considered on a case
-by-case basis, and/or specific criteria for when one is required should be prepared by the Councils.
