Question 7 re. meeting development demands in ways responsive to local and global environmental considerations
Representation ID: 18699
Received: 02/02/2007
Respondent: Sussex Gardens Trust
The District’s built and cultural heritage contributes to the area’s local distinctiveness and overall character and its tourist resource making a valuable economic. Historic Parks and Gardens are a particular interest for their intrinsic value and as a setting for historic buildings. There are many more of local significance.
The historic inheritance adds to the quality of life and is an important resource for the local economy. New development should respect the character and scale of historic facilities, their landscape setting and public views. Building should not be a pastiche. High quality development should respect and enhance the area’s character.

The European Landscape Convention will become law in 2007 and should be mentioned. It is based on the premise that landscape, whatever quality, whether rural or urban, built or natural, should be recognised, understood and fully integrated into policy and decision making. Landscape has important cultural, ecological, environmental and social dimensions and is a key element in achieving sustainable development.
