Spatial Strategy
CHAPTER 3 – Spatial Strategy Paragraphs 3.1 – 3.3 This supporting text was responded to by 7 people/organisations. Support 0 Object 5 Comment 2 Overarching Summary The Plan is not ambitious enough – it should be a plan for the world in the 2020s. The garden communities provide the perfect opportunity for a sustainable local economy in the information age. The strategy is too focused on housing numbers at the expense of everything else. It is not clear when and where the houses are needed. Consider that a plan is needed, not a spatial portrait. The phrase garden communities conceals unpalatable truths. This plan is not sustainable due to the size and lack of infrastructure. The plan clearly does not respect the local character of Uttlesford and the villages to be directly affected by this plan, especially those nearby the West of Braintree site. Statutory consultees and other bodies Littlebury Parish Council – Uttlesford claims it wants to be one of the best places to live in the 2020s and beyond. The plan must be much more ambitious and embrace the world of the 2030s if it to achieve this. Aiming for a sustainable local economy in the information age should be a priority. The Plan should deliver world class broadband throughout the district, early development of new large employment sites to attract growing industries, development of a comprehensive network of non-fossil fuel transport links and build on the enviable local education provision to give young people a head start. The proposed new garden villages provide a perfect opportunity to do so. -

4. EFFECTS on VISUAL AMENITY the Effects on Visual Amenity
Endurance Estates Land Promotion Ltd Land to the East of Parsonage Road, Takeley Appendix 1 LVIA Methodology 4. EFFECTS ON VISUAL AMENITY The effects on visual amenity considers the changes in views arising from the proposals in relation to visual receptors including settlements, residential properties, transport routes, recreational facilities and attractions; and representative viewpoints or specific locations within the study area as agreed with the Local Planning Authority. Sensitivity of Visual Receptors Sensitivity is determined by a combination of the value that is attached to a view and the susceptibility of the visual receptor to changes in that view that would arise as a result of the proposals – see pages 113-114 of GLVIA3. Both value and susceptibility are assessed on a scale of high, medium or low. The criteria for assessing the value of views is shown in Table 6: Table 6, Criteria for assessing the value of views Views with high scenic value within designated landscapes including but not limited to World Heritage Sites, National Parks, Areas of HIGH Outstanding Natural Beauty, etc. Likely to include key viewpoints on OS maps or reference within guidebooks, provision of facilities, presence of interpretation boards, etc. Views with moderate scenic value within undesignated landscape including urban fringe and rural countryside. MEDIUM Views with unremarkable scenic value within undesignated landscape with partly degraded visual quality and detractors. LOW The criteria for assessing the susceptibility of views is shown in Table 7: Table 7, Criteria for assessing visual susceptibility Includes occupiers of residential properties and people engaged in HIGH recreational activities in the countryside using public rights of way (PROW). -
