LNP1 A Spatial Strategy for the Parish

The built-up area boundary is shown on the Policies Map. Within this area proposals for development will normally be acceptable provided they accord with the policies of the Development Plan.

The land outside the built up-area is considered to be part of the open countryside. All this area is within the Green Belt and accordingly new development will be strictly controlled in line with national Green Belt policies.

Within the countryside, different character areas are identified to support the management and protection of the landscape. Parts of the area, as shown on the Policies Map, are also within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty plus candidates for inclusion within AONBs or are defined as Areas of Great Landscape Value. Here national and local policies will continue to ensure that the high landscape value will be conserved.
