Natural England recommends more explicit inclusion of nature conservation and landscape character in the SA Objectives, to better emphasise the value of these to environmental sustainability. The following Objectives could be amended as follows
•SA Objective 14 - Conserve and enhance biodiversity by protecting both designated and non-designated but locally important species and habitats.
•SA Objective 15 - Protect and enhance the high quality natural and built environment, including landscape and townscape character and particularly the protection of the High Weald AONB.
