We support this Policy which should help to ensure that those elements which contribute to the distinctive local character of the various areas of the District are retained and reinforced. We particularly welcome the intention of this policy to create high quality places, with proposals required to understand the place and its wider context and create places with a local identify reflecting the District’s varied and distinctive character, topography and features.

NPPF paragraph 127 provides that planning policies and decisions should, amongst other considerations, ensure that developments are sympathetic to local character and history, including the surrounding built environment and landscape setting.
