Respondent: Natural England
EN1
Management of the high quality historic, built and natural landscape character is to be achieved by ensuring the protection, and wherever possible enhancement,
Overall the wording of this policy is good however we would like to see the removal of the wording „wherever possible‟ in front of enhancement.
The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 places a statutory duty on LAs under section 85 to have regard to the purposes of the AONB designation, the conservation and enhancement of natural beauty. Therefore the wording „wherever possible‟ should be removed from enhancement.
There is a good cross referencing of landscape and landscape character through the policy and the settlement within landscape.
