The existing and emerging development pattern should be revisited and included within the final LCA E1. The landscape qualities of the LCA E1 (and all LCA areas) must include acknowledgement that there are areas, such as this Site at RN17, that at the edges of the LCA boundary, and / or which have no landscape or functional importance. That the primary focus of the Development Management Guidance is clarified to ensure that inappropriate development, i.e. schemes that materially harm the function and character of areas of the most important, in terms of landscape quality and function, are resisted, but that sustainable development in areas of limited landscape quality is supported. The principle of the LCA must acknowledge the significant housing pressures that the Council is under, and that some sites can forward for residential development. Without this appreciation in the LCA, or any subsequent Policy that refers to the final version of the LCA, the application of the document as drafted could substantially inhibit the Council in delivering the required housing.
