Central Bedfordshire Design Guide SPD
Representation ID: 16232
Received: 15/03/2023
Respondent: Greensand Trust
Section 4 sets out the raft of policies this SPD is intended to help achieve. However, the lack of reference to Policy EE5 (Landscape Character and Value) is a serious omission. Policy EE5 requires all development to have regard to the key characteristics and sensitivities of any proposal site and its setting, as set out in the Central Bedfordshire Landscape Character Assessment.
• Policy EE5 is also important to support as it requires all major development proposals to demonstrate how they incorporate landscape enhancement in accordance with the LCA and Design Guide, and other relevant documents including those relating to the Greensand Ridge Nature Improvement Area.
