LNP5 Landscape Character

Proposals that have the ability to impact on the wider landscape will be expected to enhance the quality of that landscape where possible.

A proposal for development will only be permitted where:

  1. It would not have a detrimental impact on the sensitive landscape areas and would contribute to the Character Management Principles set out in the Limpsfield Heritage and Character Assessment.
  2. Would not have an adverse impact on the landscape.

Within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV), development should conserve and enhance landscape and scenic beauty. In the event that there are changes to the boundaries of the AGLV or the designation is removed or in part subsumed into the AONB and Candidate AONB areas, development should continue to accord with the principles set out in the Limpsfield Heritage and Character Study (Assessments) (AECOM Character Assessments) – at Appendix A.
