SP6: Maintaining and Improving the Environment
The Council will seek to maintain and improve the quality of the environment of the Borough. It will:
- ensure the design and layout of new development incorporates principles of sustainable development, and creates an environment that is inclusive, safe and secure, is attractive with its own distinct identity and respects the environment of the area in which it is situated,
- contribute to improving air quality in the Borough,
- protect and enhance areas of existing environmental character including sites of nature conservation value, areas of landscape value, the Borough’s historic and cultural heritage (including historic buildings and Conservation Areas) and open space of amenity and recreation value,
- promote the improvement of poor quality environments both within the urban area and in the Green Belt.
