11.7 For developments in rural areas and small villages the requirement should be for boundary treatments to be formed solely of suitable native species hedges or post and rail fencing underplanted with suitable native species hedging (prickly or spikey species should be used where security is required); high walls and brick walls (unless enhancing or supplementing existing local features) and close-boarded fencing should be avoided in rural areas and small villages. Boundary treatments in rural areas and small villages should be permeable to wildlife, including insects, ground-birds and mammels such as hedgehogs and badgers.
