The SLA Policy should be retained. It is a safeguard against despoilation of areas of outstanding natural beauty and important wildlife habitats. I understand the policy will be replaced but by a weaker local plan policy which makes no provision for special landscapes. Other counties will retain their SLAs and so should Carmarthenshire even though there is no statutory requirement to designate them. I note that NRW has queried the lack of reference to SLAs and this gives weight to the argument for keeping them.
SLA Policy must be retained so that SLAs are given extra protection and importance and so added weight when considering developments.

The Plan seeks to recognise the high quality landscapes across the plan area and will be supported by a Landscape Character Assessment which will seek to characterise landscape importance and inform future decision making. Those areas currently identified as Special Landscape Areas will be fully considered as part of the Landscape Character Assessment. This will be prepared and published as Supplementary Planning Guidance for adoption concurrent with the Plan.
