1.0 Appendix 1 Glossary Cumulative effects. The additional changes caused by a proposed development in conjunction with other similar developments or as the combined effect of a set of developments, taken together. Illustrative Viewpoint. A viewpoint chosen specifically to demonstrate a particular effect or specific issues, which might, for example, be the restricted visibility at certain locations. Landscape Character Areas These are single unique areas which are the discrete geographical areas of a particular landscape type. Landscape Character Type. These are distinct types of landscape that are relatively homogeneous in character. They are generic in nature in that they may occur in different areas in different parts of the country, but wherever they occur they share broadly similar combinations of geology, topography, drainage patterns, vegetation, and historical land use, and settlement pattern, and perceptual and aesthetic attributes. Landscape effects. Effects on the landscape as a resource in its own right. Landscape character. A distinct, recognisable and consistent pattern of elements in the landscape that makes one landscape different from another, rather than better or worse. Landscape quality (or condition). A measure of the physical state of the landscape. It may include the extent to which typical character is represented in individual areas, the intactness of the landscape and the condition of individual elements. Landscape receptors. Defined aspects of the landscape resource that have the potential to be affected by a proposal. Landscape value. The relative value that is attached to different landscapes by society. A landscape may be valued by different stakeholders for a whole variety of reasons. Magnitude (of effect). A term that combines judgements about the size and scale of the effect, the extent of the area over which it occurs, whether it is reversible or irreversible and whether it is short or long term, in duration. Mitigation. Measures which are proposed to prevent, reduce and where possible offset any significant adverse effects (or to avoid, reduce and if possible remedy identified effects). Representative Viewpoint. A viewpoint selected to represent the experience of different types of visual receptor, where larger numbers of viewpoints cannot all be included individually and where the significant effects are unlikely to differ. Sensitivity. A term applied to specific receptors, combining judgements of the susceptibility of the receptor to the specific type of change or development proposed and the value related to that receptor. Specific Viewpoint. A viewpoint because it is key and sometimes a promoted viewpoint within the landscape, including for example specific local visitor attractions, viewpoints in areas of particularly noteworthy visual and/or recreational amenity such as landscapes with statutory landscape designations, or viewpoints with particular cultural landscape associations.

7060 4

Susceptibility. The ability of a defined landscape or visual receptor to accommodate the specific proposed development without undue negative consequences. Visual amenity. The overall pleasantness of the views people enjoy of their surroundings, which provides an attractive visual setting or backdrop for the enjoyment of activities of people living, working, recreating, visiting or travelling through an area. Visual effect. Effects on specific views and on the general visual amenity experienced by people. Visual receptor. Individuals and/or defined groups of people who have the potential to be affected by a proposal. Zone of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV). A map, usually digitally produced, showing areas of land within which a development is theoretically visible.

3.0 Appendix 3 Methodology Introduction

This appendix contains additional detail regarding the assessment methodology, supplementing the information provided within the LVIA text. This appendix sets out a standard approach – specific matters in terms of the scope of assessment, study area and modifications to the standard approach for this assessment are set out within the LVIA. The methodology has the following key stages, which are described in more detail in subsequent sections, as follows:  Baseline – includes the gathering of documented information; agreement of the scope of the assessment with the EIA co-ordinator and local planning authority; site visits and initial reports to the EIAA co-ordinator of issues that may need to be addressed within the design.  Design – input into the design / review of initial design / layout / options and mitigation options.  Assessment – includes an assessment of the landscape and visual effects of the scheme, requiring site based work and the completion of a full report and supporting graphics.  Cumulative Assessment – assesses the effects of the proposal in combination with other developments, where required.

Baseline

The baseline study establishes the planning policy context, the scope of the assessment and the key receptors. It typically includes the following key activities:  A desk study of relevant current national and local planning policy, in respect of landscape and visual matters, for the site and surrounding areas.  Agreement of the main study area radius with the local planning authority.  A desk study of nationally and locally designated landscapes for the site and surrounding areas.  A desk study of existing landscape character assessments and capacity and sensitivity studies for the site and surrounding areas.  A desk study of historic landscape character assessments (where available) and other information sources required to gain an understanding of the contribution of heritage assets to the present day landscape.  Collation and evaluation of other indicators of local landscape value such as references in landscape character studies or parish plans, tourist information, local walking & cycling guides, references in art and literature.  The identification of valued character types, landscape elements and features which may be affected by the proposal, including rare landscape types.

7060 7

 Exchanging information with other consultants working on other assessment topics for the development as required to inform the assessment.  Draft Zone of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV) studies to assist in identifying potential viewpoints and indicate the potential visibility of the proposed development, and therefore scope of receptors likely to be affected. The methodology used in the preparation of ZTV studies is described within Appendix 12.4.  The identification of and agreement upon, through consultation, the scope of assessment for cumulative effects.  The identification of and agreement upon, through consultation, the number and location of representative and specific viewpoints within the study area.  The identification of the range of other visual receptors (e.g. people travelling along routes, or within open access land, settlements and residential properties) within the study area.  Site visits to become familiar with the site and surrounding landscape; verify documented baseline; and to identify viewpoints and receptors.  Input to the design process. The information gathered during the baseline assessment is drawn together and summarised in the baseline section of the report and reasoned judgements are made as to which receptors are likely to be significantly affected. Only these receptors are then taken forward for the detailed assessment of effects (ref. GLVIA 3rd edition, 2013, para 3.19).

Design The design and assessment stages are necessarily iterative, with stages overlapping in parts. Details of any mitigation measures incorporated within the proposals to help reduce identified potential landscape and visual effects are set out within the LVIA.

Assessment The assessment of effects includes further desk and site based work, covering the following key activities:  The preparation of a ZTV based on the finalised design for the development.  An assessment, based on both desk study and site visits, of the sensitivity of receptors to the proposed development.  An assessment, based on both desk study and site visits, of the magnitude and significance of effects upon the landscape character, designated and recreational landscape and the existing visual environment arising from the proposed development.  An informed professional judgements as to whether each identified effect is positive, neutral or adverse.  A clear description of the effects identified, with supporting information setting out the rationale for judgements.

7060 8

 Identification of which effects are judged to be significant based on the significance thresholds set out within the LVIA  The production of photomontages from a selection of the agreed viewpoints showing the anticipated view following construction of the proposed development.

Site

The effect of physical changes to the site are assessed in terms of the effects on the landscape fabric. Landscape and Townscape Character Considerations The European Landscape Convention (2000) provides the following definition: “Landscape means an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors.” And notes also in Article 2 that landscape includes “natural, rural, urban and peri-urban areas. It includes land, inland water and marine areas”. An Approach to Landscape Character Assessment (Natural England, 2014) defines landscape character as: “a distinct and recognisable pattern of elements, or characteristics, in the landscape that make one landscape different from another, rather than better or worse.” The susceptibility of landscape character areas is judged based on both the attributes of the receiving environment and the characteristics of the proposed development as discussed under ‘susceptibility’ within the methodology section of the LVIA. Thus, the key characteristics of the landscape character types/areas are considered, along with scale, openness, topography; the absence of, or presence, nature and patterns of development, settlement, landcover, the contribution of heritage assets and historic landscape elements and patterns, and land uses in forming the character. The condition of the receiving landscape, i.e. the intactness of the existing character will also be relevant in determining susceptibility. The likelihood of material effects on the landscape character areas can be judged based on the scale and layout of the proposal and how this relates to the characteristics of the receiving landscape. The introduction of any development into a landscape adds a new feature which can affect the ‘sense of place’ in its near vicinity, but with distance, the existing characteristics reassert themselves. The baseline is informed by desk study of published landscape character assessments and field survey. It is specifically noted within An Approach to Landscape Character Assessment (Natural England, 2014) that: “Our landscapes have evolved over time and they will continue to evolve – change is a constant but outcomes vary. The management of change is essential to ensure that we achieve sustainable outcomes – social, environmental and economic. Decision makers need to understand the baseline and the implications of their decisions for that baseline.”

7060 9

At page 51 it describes the function of Key Characteristics in landscape assessment, as follows: “Key characteristics are those combinations of elements which help to give an area its distinctive sense of place. If these characteristics change, or are lost, there would be significant consequences for the current character of the landscape. Key characteristics are particularly important in the development of planning and management policies. They are important for monitoring change and can provide a useful reference point against which landscape change can be assessed. They can be used as indicators to inform thinking about whether and how the landscape is changing and whether, or not, particular policies – for example - are effective and having the desired effect on landscape character.” It follows from the above that in order to assess whether landscape character is significantly affected by a development, it should be determined how each of the key characteristics would be affected. The judgement of magnitude therefore reflects the degree to which the key characteristics and elements which form those characteristics will be altered by the proposals. Landscape value - considerations Paragraph 5.19 of GLVIA states that “A review of existing landscape designations is usually the starting point in understanding landscape value, but the value attached to undesignated landscapes also needs to be carefully considered and individual elements of the landscape- such as trees, buildings or hedgerows -may also have value. All need to be considered where relevant.” Paragraph 5.20 of GLVIA indicates information which might indicate landscape value, including:  Information about areas recognised by statute such as National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty;  Information about Heritage Coasts, where relevant;  Local planning documents for local landscape designations;  Information on features such as Conservation Areas, listed buildings, historic or cultural sites;  Art and literature, identifying value attached to particular areas or views; and  Material on landscapes of local or community interest, such as local green spaces, village greens or allotments. An assessment of landscape value is made based on the following factors outlined in Box 5.1 of GLVIA3: Landscape quality (condition); scenic quality; rarity; representativeness; conservation interest; recreational value; perceptual aspects; and associations. In addition to the above list, consideration is given to any evidence that indicates whether the landscape has particular value to people that would suggest that it is of greater than Community value. Viewpoints and Visual Receptors - considerations

7060 10

A wide variety of visual receptors can reasonably be anticipated to be affected by the proposed development. Within the baseline assessment, the ZTV study and site visits are used to determine which visual receptors are likely to be significantly affected and therefore merit detailed assessment. In line with guidance (GLVIA, 3rd Edition, 2013); both representative and specific viewpoints may be identified to inform the assessment. In general, the majority of viewpoints will be representative – representing the visual receptors at the distance and direction in which they are located and of the type(s) that would be present at that location. The representative viewpoints have generally been selected in locations where significant effects would be anticipated; though some may be selected outside of that zone – either to demonstrate the reduction of effects with distance; or to specifically ensure the representation of a particularly sensitive receptor.  The types of visual receptors likely to be included with the assessment are:  Users of walking routes or accessible landscapes including Public Rights of Way, National and Regional Trails and other long distance routes, Common Land, Open Access Land, permissive paths, land held in trust (e.g. Woodland Trust, National Trust) offering free public access, and other regularly used, permitted walking routes;  Visitors to and residents of settlements;  Visitors to specific valued viewpoints;  Visitors to attractions or heritage assets for which landscape and views contribute to the experience; and  Users of roads or identified scenic routes. Visual receptors are grouped for assessment into areas which include all of the routes, public spaces and homes within that area. Groups are selected as follows:  Based around settlements in order to describe effects on that that community – e.g. a settlement and routes radiating from that settlement; or  An area of open countryside encompassing a number of routes, accessible spaces and individual dwellings; or  An area of accessible landscape and the routes within and around it e.g. a country park; and  such that effects within a single visual receptor group are similar enough to be readily described and assessed.

With the exception of specific viewpoints, each route, settlement or location will encompass a range of possible views, which might vary from no view of the development to very clear, close views. Therefore effects are described in such a way as to identify where views towards the development are likely to arise and what the scale, duration and extent of those views are likely to be. In some cases this will be further informed by a nearby viewpoint and in others it will be informed with reference to the ZTV, aerial photography and site visits. Each of these individual effects are then considered together in order to reach a judgement of the effects on the visual receptors along that route, or in that place.

7060 11

The representative viewpoints are used as ‘samples’ on which to base judgements of the scale of effects on visual receptors. The viewpoints represent multiple visual receptors, and duration and extent are judged when assessing impacts on the visual receptors. For specific viewpoints (key and sometimes promoted viewpoints within the landscape), duration and extent are assessed, with extent reflecting the extent to which the development affects the valued qualities of the view from the specific viewpoint.

1) Visitors to valued viewpoints or routes which people might visit purely to experience the view, e.g. promoted or well-known viewpoints, routes from which views that form part of the special qualities of a designated landscape can be well appreciated; key designed views; panoramic viewpoints marked on maps. 2) People in locations where they are likely to pause to appreciate the view, such as from local waypoints such as benches; or at key views to/from local landmarks. Visitors to local attractions, heritage assets or public parks where views are an important contributor to the experience, or key views into/out of Conservation Areas. 3) People in the streets around their home, or using public rights of way, navigable waterways or accessible open space (public parks, open access land). 4) Users of promoted scenic rail routes. 5) Users of promoted scenic local road routes. 6) Users of cycle routes, local roads and railways. 7) Outdoor workers. 8) Users of A-roads which are nationally or locally promoted scenic routes. 9) Users of sports facilities such as cricket grounds and golf courses. 10) Users of Motorways and A-roads; shoppers at retail parks, people at their (indoor) places of work.

Preparation and use of Visuals The ZTVs are used to inform the field study assessment work, providing additional detail and accuracy to observations made on site. Photomontages may also be produced in order to assist readers of the assessment in visualising the proposals, but are not used in reaching judgements of effect. The preparation of the ZTVs (and photomontages where applicable) is informed by the Landscape Institute’s Technical Guidance Note 06/19 ‘Visual

7060 13

Representation of development proposals’ and SNH ‘Visual Representation of Wind Farms Best Practice Guidance’ (both the 2007 and 2017 editions). The following points should be borne in mind in respect of the ZTV study:  Areas shown as having potential visibility may have visibility of the development obscured by local features such as trees, hedgerows, embankments or buildings. A detailed description of the methods by which ZTVs and visualisations are prepared is included in Appendix 4. In addition to the main visualisations, illustrative views are used as appropriate to illustrate particular points made within the assessment. These are not prepared to the same standard as they simply depict existing views, character or features rather than forming the basis for visualisations. Cumulative Assessment Cumulative assessment relates to the assessment of the effects of more than one development. A search area from the proposal site (typically of a similar scale to the study area) is agreed with the planning authority. For each of the identified cumulative schemes agreement is reached with the Planning Authority as to whether and how they should be included in the assessment. Developments that are subject to a valid planning application are included where specific circumstances indicate there is potential for cumulative effects to occur, with progressively decreasing emphasis placed on those which are less certain to proceed. Typically, operational and consented developments are treated as being part of the landscape and visual baseline. i.e. it is assumed that consented schemes will be built except for occasional exceptions where there is good reason to assume that they will not be constructed. The cumulative assessment examines the same groups of landscape and visual receptors as the assessment for the main scheme, though different viewpoints may be used in order to better represent the likely range of effects arising from the combination of schemes. The assessment is informed by cumulative ZTVs as necessary, showing the extent of visual effects of the schemes in different colours to illustrate where visibility of more than one development is likely to arise. Cumulative wirelines or photomontages may also be prepared. In addition, the effects on users of routes through the area, from which developments may be sequentially visible as one passes through the landscape are also considered, if appropriate. This assessment is based on the desk study of ZTVs and aerial photography, and site visits to travel along the routes being assessed. In relation to landscape and visual cumulative assessment, it is important to note the following:  For each assessed receptor, combined cumulative effects may be the same as for the application scheme, or greater (where the influence of multiple schemes would increase effects, or where schemes in planning other than the application scheme would have the predominant effects).

7060 14

 For each assessed receptor, incremental cumulative effects may be the same as for the application scheme, or reduced (where the influence of other schemes in planning would be such that were they consented and considered to be part of the baseline, the incremental change arising from the addition of the application scheme would be less).  Subject to the distance and degree of intervening landform, vegetation and structures there may be no cumulative effects. The way in which the assessment is described and presented is varied depending on the number and nature of scenarios which may arise. This variation is needed in order to convey to the reader the key points of each assessment. For example, the three different cumulative combinations that may arise for an assessment in which there are two existing undetermined applications each can be assessed individually. A situation in which there are 10 applications cannot reasonably be assessed in this way and the developments may need to be grouped for analysis. Residential Amenity

Paragraph 6.17 of GLVIA, 3rd edition notes that: “In some instances it may also be appropriate to consider private viewpoints, mainly from residential properties…. Effects of development in private property are frequently dealt with mainly through ‘residential amenity assessments’. These are separate from LVIA although visual effects assessment may sometimes be carried out as part of a residential amenity assessment, in which case this will supplement and form part of the LVIA for a project. Some of the principles set out here for dealing with visual effects may help in such assessments but there are specific requirements in residential amenity assessment” The guidance also notes that: “In respect of private views and visual amenity, it is widely known that, no one has ‘a right to a view.’ This includes situations where a residential property’s outlook / visual amenity is judged to be ‘significantly’ affected by a proposed development, a matter which has been confirmed in a number of appeal / public inquiry decisions.” It is important to note: “Judgements formed in respect of Residential Visual Amenity should not be confused with the judgement regarding Residential Amenity because the latter is a planning matter. Nor should the judgment therefore be seen as a ‘test’ with a simple ‘pass’ or ‘fail’. … The final judgement regarding effect on Residential Amenity … requires weighing all factors and likely effects (positive as well as negative) in the ‘planning balance’.” The guidance notes that many appeal decisions in which residential visual amenity is considered relate to wind farms. Wind farms are unusually tall developments with a greater chance that they could have such an effect. Most forms of development are unlikely to cause effects of such a high magnitude to render a property an unattractive place in which to live unless in very close to the property and occupying a large proportion of views.

7060 15

Residential properties closest to the site are viewed on site and from aerial photography to consider whether a residential amenity assessment is required. Where such an assessment is required, it is provided as an appendix to the LVIA and in accordance with the guidance provided in LI TGN 02/2019.

4.0 Appendix 4 Visualisations and ZTV Studies ZTV Studies

ZTV studies are prepared using the ESRI ArcGIS Viewshed routine. This creates a raster image that indicates the visibility (or not) of the points modelled. LDA Design undertake a ZTV study that is designed to include visual barriers from settlements and woodlands (with heights derived from NEXTMAP 25 surface mapping data). If significant deviations from these assumed heights are noted during site visits, for example young or felled areas of woodland, or recent changes to built form, the features concerned will be adjusted within the model or the adoption of a digital surface model will be used to obtain actual heights for these barriers. The model is also designed to take into account both the curvature of the earth and light refraction, informed by the SNH guidance. LDA Design undertake all ZTV studies with observer heights of 2m. The ZTV analysis begins at 1m from the observation feature and will work outwards in a grid of the set resolution until it reaches the end of the terrain map for the project. For all plan production LDA Design will produce a ZTV that has a base and overlay of the 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey Raster mapping or better. The ZTV will be reproduced at a suitable scale on an A3 template to encompass the study area. Ground model accuracy

Depending on the project and level of detail required, different height datasets may be used. Below is listed the different data products and their specifications:

Product Distance Between Points Vertical RMSE Error LiDAR 50cm – 2m up to +/- 5cm

Photogrammetrically Derived 2m – 5m up to +/- 1.5m Heights Ordnance Survey OS terrain 5 5 m up to +/- 2.5m NextMap25 DTM 25 m +/- 2.06m

Ordnance Survey OS terrain 50 50 m +/- 4m

Site-specific topographical survey data may also be used where available. Photomontages and Photowires

Verified / verifiable photomontages are produced in seven stages. Photowires are produced using the same overall approach, but only require some of the steps outlined below. 1) Photography is undertaken using a full frame digital SLR camera and 50mm lens. A tripod is used to take overlapping photographs which are joined together using an industry standard application to create a single panoramic image for each viewpoint. These are then saved at a fixed height and resolution to enable correct sizing when

7060 17

reproduced in the final images. The photographer also notes the GPS location of the viewpoint and takes bearings to visible landmarks whilst at the viewpoint. 2) Creation of a ground model and 3D mesh to illustrate that model. This is created using NextMap25 DTM point data (or occasionally other terrain datasets where required, such as site-specific topographical data or Photogrammetrically Derived Heights) and ground modelling software. 3) The addition of the proposed development to the 3D model. The main components of the proposed development are accurately modelled in CAD and are then inserted into the 3D model at the proposed locations and elevations. 4) Wireline generation – The viewpoints are added within the 3D CAD model with each observer point being inserted at 1.5m above the modelled ground plane. The location of the landmarks identified by the photographer may also be included in the model. The view from the viewpoint is then is then replicated using virtual cameras to create a series of single frame images, which also include bearing markers. As with the photographs, these single frame images are joined together using an industry standard application to create a single panoramic image for each viewpoint. These are then saved at a fixed height and resolution to ensure that they are the same size as the photographs. 5) Wireline matching – The photographs are matched to the wirelines using a combination of the visible topography, bearing markers and the landmarks that have been included in the 3D model. 6) For the photomontage, an industry standard 3D rendering application is used to produce a rendered 3D view of the proposed development from the viewpoint. The rendering uses materials to match the intended surface finishes of the development and lighting conditions according to the date and time of the viewpoint photograph. 7) The rendered development is then added to the photograph in the position identified by the wireline (using an image processing application) to ensure accuracy. The images are then layered to ensure that the development appears in front of and behind the correct elements visible within the photograph. Where vegetation is proposed as part of the development, this is then added to the final photomontage. In accordance with the guidance provided in Landscape Institute Technical Guidance Note 06/19 (Ref. 6), visualisations will be been prepared to the technical methodology set out in below. The photowires and photomontages prepared in support of the LVIA will adhere to the Type 3 visualisation specification as surveyed locational accuracy is not generally necessary but image enlargement, to illustrate perceived scale, would be appropriate.

5.0 Appendix 5 National Planning Policy The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, February 2019) makes clear that the purpose of planning is to help achieve sustainable development (Section 2), and that design (Section 12), and effects on the natural environment (Section 15) are important components of this. Paragraph 11 sets out that in determining applications for development this means that developments which accord with an up-to-date development plan should be approved. Where the development plan is not fit for the purpose of determining the application, paragraph 11 directs that the permission should be granted unless “any adverse impacts of doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in this Framework taken as a whole” or “the application of policies in this Framework that protect areas or assets of particular importance provides a clear reason for refusing the development proposed”. The areas or assets of particular importance in respect of landscape and visual matters referred to within the relevant footnote 6 are:  Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB);  National Parks including the Norfolk Broads;  Heritage Coast. The list also includes important and/or irreplaceable habitats, designated heritage assets, areas at risk of flooding or coastal change, and land-use designations (Green Belt, Local Green Space). Section 11 sets out considerations in ‘Making Effective Use of Land’ and notes in paragraph 122 that in respect of development density the considerations should include whether a place is well-designed and “the desirability of maintaining an area’s prevailing character and setting … or of promoting regeneration and change”. Paragraph 127 of the NPPF indicates that decisions should ensure that developments: “a) will function well and add to the overall quality of the area, not just for the short term but over the lifetime of the development; b) are visually attractive as a result of good architecture, layout and appropriate and effective landscaping; c) are sympathetic to local character and history, including the surrounding built environment and landscape setting, while not preventing or discouraging appropriate innovation or change (such as increased densities); d) establish or maintain a strong sense of place, using the arrangement of streets, spaces, building types and materials to create attractive, welcoming and distinctive places to live, work and visit; e) optimise the potential of the site to accommodate and sustain an appropriate amount and mix of development (including green and other public space) … Section 15 of the NPPF covers both ecological and landscape matters. Paragraph 170 requires that decisions should contribute by:

7060 20

“a) protecting and enhancing valued landscapes, … (in a manner commensurate with their statutory status or identified quality in the development plan); b) recognising the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside, and the wider benefits from natural capital and ecosystem services – including the economic and other benefits of the best and most versatile agricultural land, and of trees and woodland; c) maintaining the character of the undeveloped coast, while improving public access to it where appropriate; …” In respect of valued landscapes, paragraph 171 notes that planning policy should “distinguish between the hierarchy of international, national and locally designated sites”. Paragraphs 172 and 173 require that: “Great weight should be given to conserving and enhancing landscape and scenic beauty in National Parks, the Broads and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which have the highest status of protection in relation to these issues. The conservation and enhancement of wildlife and cultural heritage are also important considerations in these areas, and should be given great weight in National Parks and the Broads. The scale and extent of development within these designated areas should be limited. Planning permission should be refused for major development other than in exceptional circumstances, and where it can be demonstrated that the development is in the public interest. Consideration of such applications should include an assessment of: a) the need for the development, including in terms of any national considerations, and the impact of permitting it, or refusing it, upon the local economy; b) the cost of, and scope for, developing outside the designated area, or meeting the need for it in some other way; and c) any detrimental effect on the environment, the landscape and recreational opportunities, and the extent to which that could be moderated. 173. Within areas defined as Heritage Coast (and that do not already fall within one of the designated areas mentioned in paragraph 172), planning policies and decisions should be consistent with the special character of the area and the importance of its conservation. Major development within a Heritage Coast is unlikely to be appropriate, unless it is compatible with its special character.” Footnote 55 notes that “whether a proposal is ‘major development’ is a matter for the decision maker, taking into account its nature, scale and setting, and whether it could have a significant adverse impact on the purposes for which the area has been designated or defined”. Paragraph 180 requires decisions to ensure that “new development is appropriate for its location” including by limiting the impact of light pollution on local amenity and “intrinsically dark landscapes”. Planning Practice Guidance for Design: process and tools, October 2019 The guidance should be read alongside the National Design Guide and sets out the characteristics of well-designed places and demonstrates what good design means in practice.

identity built form movement nature public spaces uses homes and buildings resources lifespan In respect of the determining applications and the relationship between a proposal and the surrounding context, the guidance notes that: “permission should be refused for development of poor design that fails to take the opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area and the way it functions …” National Design Guide, October 2019 The guidance sets out characteristics of ‘beautiful, enduring and successful places’ that reflect the ‘Government’s priorities and a common overarching framework’ and provides cross references to the National Planning Policy Framework. The guidance indicates that ‘context, history and the cultural characteristics of a site, neighbourhood and region influences the location, siting and design of new developments’. The guidance indicates that nature ‘contributes to the quality of a place, and to people’s quality of life, and it is a critical component of well-designed places.’ Natural features include ‘natural and designed landscapes, high quality public open spaces, street trees, and other trees, grass, planting and water’. In respect of nature, the guidance further notes that well-designed places: integrate existing and incorporate new natural features into a multifunctional network that supports quality of place prioritise nature to support health of natural environment provide attractive open spaces in locations that are easy to access

DEGREE OF SLOPE The plateau falls at an average of c. 1 in 25 from west to east. To the north and south towards the river valleys and also locally within the plateau there are changes in slope which are typically 1 in 10.

ALTITUDE RANGE The plateau falls from approximately 75m in the west around Bedford Purlieus down to 25m at Milton Park. The local val- leys e.g. Thornhaugh can more locally fall between 55- 20m.

mented evidence for settlements that have disappeared at Walcot Hall, Belsize and Milton Park. The quality of the built environment and vernacular buildings in the local villages is a key feature of the area. Many of the buildings are con- structed from the warm coloured locally quarried limestone and roofed in Collyweston slate - a hard micaceous limestone that splits into tiles. Other properties are constructed from brick and tile and roofed in a mix of thatch and pantile. Stone is also used locally in the villages for stone walling to field and garden boundaries e.g. Barnack and Ufford. The parish church of St Kyneburgha at Castor with its prominent Norman tower with tiers of double arches is built close to the site of a major Roman Palace and commands fine views over the Nene Valley to the south. Barnack parish church built from local stone has a Saxon tower with 'long and short' work and one of the oldest towers in England. Wittering Church also has important Anglo -Saxon features. Marholm village lies close to Peterborough but is visually separated by mature woodland and its distinctive church is set amongst mature cedars and approached across meadows. Ufford hamlet con- tains fine rows of cottages and Ufford Hall. The Victorian Model farm at Upton contains some dramatic barns with the appearance of railway engine sheds. There is an isolated 18th century windmill outside Barnack. The mature and spacious suburban area of Wothorpe is located to the north west of the area and looks across the Welland towards Stamford. West of the A1 lies the striking ruins of Wothorpe House.

Another major feature of the settlement pattern are the local estates and associated houses. Walcot Hall is a grand 17th century house set amongst mature woods and trees. To the east lies Milton Hall home to the Fitzwiliams. The house has two contrasting elevations, Elizabethan to the north and 18th century Palladian to the south. The extensive parkland laid out by Repton is essentially inward facing and contain a number of interesting buildings including a 18th century folly built like a medieval gatehouse and home to the Fitzwilliam hounds since 1769. Rare breed sheep and long horn cattle graze the parkland. Burghley House is one of the largest and grandest houses of the first Elizabethan Age, built by William Cecil, Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I, between 1555 and 1587. The historic parkland was laid out by Capability Brown and still occupied by a herd of fallow deer. There are fine gatehouses and limestone walls around the • Ufford Hall (TLP) perimeter of the park.

The exception to the traditional settlement pattern is at Wittering where the original village is now surrounded by RAF housing estates and the adjacent airfield, which dates from 1916 and is now home to the RAF Harrier Squadrons. The predominantly red brick structures, hangers and other structures including the spherical radar balls make the airfield development a prominent and unsympathetic feature in the landscape.

Peterborough due to the presence of intervening woodland, shelterbelts and hedgerows. Pylons provide another of the few visual detractors in the area and in particular between Ashton and Helpston.

RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES The area is predominantly an agricultural area but also provides a number of informal recreational opportunities. In contrast to other parts of the authority there is a good network of public rights of way and published routes. The Hereward Way long distance footpath runs form near Sutton in the south through to Burghley and the Torpel Way provides an important east-west connection from Bretton Township in Peterborough to Stamford. There are also visitor attractions such a Sacrewell Farm and equestrian and riding centres e.g. Wittering Grange. Milton Hall Park. (B. Robinson) •
