E2 Landscapes, Views and Gaps
In order to maintain the views, landscape features and gaps between settlements, development proposals should:
- Assess any adverse impact on landscape, fields, views and gaps and protect these features or provide mitigation against their loss.
- Not increase the prominence of the settlement within the landscape.
- Maintain the open and undeveloped nature of the gaps between neighbourhoods to prevent coalescence and retain the individual identity of settlements.
- Retain agricultural land for agriculture, particularly on land currently designated as agricultural grades 1 to 3a (agricultural land designations).
- Protect significant views of important landscape features and heritage assets into and out of Sandridge village unless appropriate mitigation is agreed with the Parish Council as set out in maps below.
