Areas of restraint not sufficient instrument to adequately protect environment. Demonstrated by ease with which existing areas of restraint are being rubbed out by Preferred Options. They amount to window dressing and do not offer additional protection over Rural Area Polices. AORs need same status as green belt. Further thought to be given on protecting natural landscape. Rural Area policies apply to all real countryside. Greenbelt is artificial measure to prevent conurbations joining. But this makes real countryside. Hence current attack on greenfield by WDC in an attempt to satisfy unreasonable demands of government.
As conservation is applied to old buildings, it ought to be applied to landscapes/countryside as far as development is concerned.
