BNE34 Areas of Local Landscape Importance

Within the Areas of Local Landscape Importance defined on the Proposals Map, development will only be permitted if:

  1. it does not materially harm the landscape character and function of the area; or
  2. the economic and social benefits are so important that they outweigh the local priority to conserve the area’s landscape.

Development within an Area of Local Landscape importance should be sited, designed and landscaped to minimise harm to the area’s landscape character and function.
