We are pleased to see the reference in HE2 to the protection of the setting of conservation areas and the protection of views in and out of it. The housing proposals which will bring increased traffic into the conservation area and will impinge on the views from Banbury Road do not sit well with this policy Para 5.157 relates to the use of Article 4 directions to maintain areas of high quality townscape. We, of course, support the policy, but would wish the wording to be improved. There is an Article 4 direction on Warwick Castle Park, which could not be considered townscape. We would not wish it to be subject to challenge because of poor wording.
