The council has acknowledged that the European Landscape Convention recognises that landscape has an impact on everyone's lives and that policies should contribute to enhancing the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside and natural landscape but this is not reflected in the decision to develop on the green belt. This will have a negative impact on the countryside adjoining Strood and residents in the west of Strood.
