The Council will require all development to protect and enhance views, vistas, gaps and the skyline that contribute to the character and quality of the area.
To deliver this the Council will:
- resist development which interrupts, disrupts or detracts from strategic and local vistas, views, and gaps and the skyline;
- require developments whose visual impacts extend beyond that of the immediate street, to demonstrate how views are protected or enhanced;
- require, within conservation areas, development to preserve or enhance views:
- identified in conservation area appraisals;
- generally within, into, and out of conservation areas, including the rear of properties;
- that affect the setting of and from development on sites adjacent to conservation areas and listed buildings;
- require development to respect the setting of a landmark, taking care not to create intrusive elements in its foreground, middle ground or background.
