We support development at higher densities as a means of meeting future demands for development whilst protecting the natural environment and minimising the need for green field development. The plan needs to ensure high quality design in new development which reflects the architectural heritage of the District.

Further emphasis could be given to the protection and enhancement of the heritage of the district and its settings.

Renewable energy is supported in principle although we do not support on-shore or off- shore wind energy proposals that would cause significant damage to protected areas (particularly wild and unspoilt landscapes), to undeveloped coast, to marine wildlife and archaeology or would adversely affect natural coastal processes.
