RC3: Protecting the Landscape
Any proposals for development in the parish should recognise and seek to protect and enhance the historic and natural landscape and local character of the parish.
Development which would impact on the skyline must be in keeping with adjacent development and not introduce over-dominant features either on the skyline or cascading downslope from it.
Field patterns and elements of the landscape heritage of the area, including ridge and furrow, field ponds, mature trees and historic hedgerows should be protected and incorporated into any landscape design schemes and their long-term maintenance ensured.
