The proposed LDP has excluded the Special Landscape Areas (SLAs) that are currently defined.
It has been indicated by Councillors that this is because the SLAs do not provide "concrete" protection against undesirable development.
However they do offer some protection and can be used by local planning committees to oppose unsuitable development and to help to preserve the special characteristics of these areas.
It would be absurd to remove the limited protection provided and replace it with no protection at all.
These areas are under dire threat from mobile network and wind farm development and need MORE protection, not less.
The Special Landscape Areas should be retained as an important element of the LDP.

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.
