We object to Draft Policy Direction 47 on the basis that it is not supported by sufficient evidence to warrant the designation of Special Landscape Areas (SLAs). The policy therefore cannot be considered to be justified, as per the requirements of NPPF paragraph 36. We consider that the designation of SLAs would undermine the importance of the Cotswolds National Landscape and would also lead to confusion given the designation is not in widespread use. It is considered that the content of other landscape-related policies in the SWLP, such as Draft Policy Direction 48 (Protecting and Enhancing
Landscape Character) will provide adequate protection to landscape as part of the development management process.
