We welcome recognition of the contribution of tranquility to conserving the qualities of the Kent Downs National Landscape.
However, while we support this Policy we question whether this is the correct place for reference to requiring LVIAs and suggest this would be more appropriately included in Policy S4: Landscape Protection and Enhancement.
