I fully support the soundness of the AONB DPD as it reflects the statutory aim of the AONB in conserving landscape and scenic beauty. The planners have listened to feedback from residents and the community.
In particular I support:
The reasons for preparing the DPD (para 1.25)
Its understanding of the National Planning Policy Framework that this should be a nationally protected landscape (para 1.3.6)
The objectives (para 2.2.1)
That all developments should fit within the primary purpose of the AONB (Policy AS01)
The fact that it is not necessary for the AONB DPD to identify any housing requirements (paras 3.1.3, 3.1.4)
References to the landscape character respecting the rural nature, the local distinctiveness, the protection of open views and undeveloped seascape, tranquility and dark skies (Policy AS02)
References to visual permeability and open areas which are inherent to the character of Silverdale (Policy AS08)
References to water quality, sewerage and drainage (Policy AS12) and the problems relating to the lack of mains sewerage system in Silverdale (4.9.2)
In excluding any sites in Silverdale as none were found to be appropriate. In particular excluding the land at Whinney Fold which was excluded based on a combination of factors including landscape impact, drainage, highway safety and
biodiversity (Policy AS16)
