S8 The Countryside Protection Zone
The area and boundaries of the Countryside Protection Zone around Stansted Airport are defined on the Proposals Map. In the Countryside Protection Zone planning permission will only be granted for development that is required to be there, or is appropriate to a rural area. There will be strict control on new development. In particular development will not be permitted if either of the following apply:
- New buildings or uses would promote coalescence between the airport and existing development in the surrounding countryside;
- It would adversely affect the open characteristics of the zone.
