We welcome the recognition (10.38) that existing densities of housing contribute to the character of an area and that this character should be protected.

However, potential adverse impacts of higher housing numbers upon landscape is only defined in terms of impact upon designated landscapes (10.47, third bullet point); non-designated landscapes may also have significance in terms of historic landscape character and reference should be made to the Historic Landscape Characterisation programme recently concluded by Warwickshire CC.
