Proposals for development in the rural parts of the Parishes should recognise and, wherever appropriate and practicable, seek to protect and enhance the historic and natural landscape and local character of the Parishes, in particular those features which are inherent in the areas within Greensand Country.

This requirement relates to field patterns and elements of the landscape heritage of the area, including ridge and furrow, ponds, mature trees and historic hedgerows all of which should be protected and incorporated into any landscape design schemes and their long-term maintenance ensured. In such cases, regard should be had to the relevant guidance set out in the Central Bedfordshire Landscape Character Assessment (2015).
