Policy
All development should consider the visual impact of new residential development upon landscape character. In most cases a visual impact assessment is required to demonstrate impacts.
Policy
Developments will be required to incorporate a design response to the District's landscape character within applications. This should be informed by the relevant sections of this design code (Uttlesford Places, Identity and Nature) and the Uttlesford Landscape Character Assessment, which provides sub-character areas.
Policy
Proposals must protect and enhance the role of the river valleys as a key network of informal open spaces and nature conservation sites which contribute to the identity of the district.
Policy
Schemes must conserve and enhance the green ‘natural’ character of the river valley.
Policy
Development should consider the landscape pattern and structure of large woodland areas and the role that they have in the composition of views to and from the area.
Policy
Proposals should encourage the re-use of redundant agricultural farm buildings, especially red brick or black timber-framed and boarded barns.
Policy
Development must ensure that new riverside planting and other habitat creation is designed to enhance landscape character and that species composition reflects local character.
Policy
Footpath routes should be enhanced with carefully sited woodland to frame views.
Policy
Schemes should manage existing shelterbelts and should plant and site carefully new mixed woodlands and shelterbelts to enclose and emphasise landform.
Policy
Landscape character should be enhanced by planting new beech hangers on carefully sited knolls, hill-tops and scarps to form focal points to reinforce local chalklands landscape where these do not result in the loss of valuable grassland habitats.
