20: Landscape Character

Proposals for minerals and waste development should protect and enhance valued landscape in a manner commensurate with their status recognising their importance and contribution to wider networks.

Proposals for minerals and waste development will require a Landscape Impact Assessment detailing the identification of: landscape character and/or features and its value (including the nature, extent and level of importance); connection with and contribution to wider networks; potential adverse impacts that are likely to arise as result from the proposed development; measures required to avoid and/or minimise potentially adverse impacts to an acceptable level; and opportunities to protect and enhance particular features that create a specific aspect of local distinctiveness or character.
