We object to this policy as drafted. In order to be sound, this policy should make reference to the stated contributions being required only where necessary and viable, and in accordance with other policies in the Local Plan and / or a CIL charging schedule.

We support the Council's protection of areas of important landscape character and value. However, we object to the apparent requirement in this policy that all development should 'positively contribute to landscape character'. This is not justified or effective and is therefore not sound. There will be occasions where it will not be appropriate or desirable for development proposals to positively contribute to landscape character. In some instances there will be other over-riding material considerations that will take precedence: for example regeneration. The policy should be worded with more flexibility to reflect this in order for it to be sound.

We support and welcome the Council's practical, pro-active approach to considering and assessing viability, in line with government policy and guidance, and recent rhetoric.
