Policy
Proposals should respond to the characteristics of water courses alongside roads by integrating swales and ditches for drainage.
Policy
Proposals should respond to (and re-establish where lost) field patterns and margins.
Policy
The layout of schemes within the farmland plateau should be reflective of the traditional dispersed settlement patterns as highlighted in section 3.6.
Policy
Schemes should conserve woodland, copse and hedgerow structure and utilise these characteristics to inform new landscape proposals.
Policy
Wet meadows should be incorporated, and existing wet meadows conserved.
Policy
Proposals should avoid coniferous screen planting. Deciduous tree planting to mitigate developments is encouraged.
Policy
New buildings should be sensitively integrated within the landscape to respect local character and avoid the skyline.
Policy
Barn conversions should respect traditional materials, built fabric and landscape character.
Policy
Undertake built form analysis before designing development demonstrating the main constraints and opportunities of the existing context and arrangement of development blocks, streets, buildings and open spaces.
Policy
Whether buildings join will depend on the surrounding context. In larger proposals variation will be used to create character.
