Part of Site BL1 (parcel south of Tythe Barn Lane) objected to on number of grounds:
Historic landscape:
- Site BL1a within a LCA 2: Landscape Character Guide (p.7) states limited capacity to accept development without impact on local character, such as narrow lanes and strong hedgerow structure. Medium landscape value with high overall sensitivity to new development.
- Contrary to Policy P10 and emphasis on the Arden Landscape, site would erode the Arden landscape
- Contrary to Council’s Woodland Strategy
- Age of hedgerows (indicated on 1840 map) indicates these are protected are under the 1997 Regulations.
- Historic landscape evidence apparent in field names, ownership and farm units
Remove part of Site BL1, south of Tythe Barn Lane, from the plan.
