If you wish to support the legal compliance or soundness of the DPD or its compliance with the Duty to Cooperate, please also use this box to set out your comments.
I fully support the legal compliance and soundness of the AONB DPD because of it reflects faithfully the primary purpose of an AONB to conserve landscape and natural beauty.
I support particularly:
The reasons for the preparation of the DPD (para. 1.25)
Its understanding of the NPPF (para.1.3.6)
Its objectives (para.2.2.1)
Policy AS01 - that any development should fit within the primary purpose of an AONB.
The paragraphs (3.1.3, 3.1.4) which show it is not necessary for an AONB DPD to identify housing requirements.
The references in Policy AS02 to local distinctiveness, visual amenity and the sense of space and place.
Policy AS08 and the references to visual permeability and open areas which are important to Silverdale's character.
The references to water quality, sewerage and drainage (Policy AS12) and the implied presumption against development in areas not connected to mains drainage.
Policy AS16 in excluding any sites in Silverdale as no appropriate sites were found and in particular excluding the land at Whinney Fold because of a combination of considerations including landscape impact, drainage, highway access and biodiversity.
