The Special Landscape Areas defined in the previous LDP have been removed and replaced only with the promise of an LCA and SPG, neither of which are included within the proposals and are only talked about in the future tense. Although intended to create new protection, effectively this will not exist because the required LCA and SPG have not yet been created. Given the years it has taken to create this updated LDP, it seems unlikely the LCA and SPG will be in place when this LDP is adopted. This will leave landscapes dangerously unprotected in the meantime.
The LCA and SPG should be created now, before the LDP is adopted, as a necessary requirement of the LDPs adoption.
Alternatively, the current SLAs should be left in place until a new LCA and SPG are created and approved.
Full discussion as to the areas covered by the LCA and SPG, including reasons for their selection, or exclusion if they were previous SLAs, also needs to be provided.

The Plan seeks to recognise 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.
