The latest planning NPPF Policy emphasises the need for sustainable long term development including landscape management.

On an edge of settlement 0.9ha site the proposed 66 bed care home and 8 dwelling scheme has been integrated around the TPO tree canopy, adjacent communal leisure uses and parkland. The approved application submitted by WSPA on behalf of Aspire LPP was supported by the DA LVIA report with emphasis on long term landscape management in an area known for heritage fruit growing.  Careful consideration was given to sw drainage in the valley setting including marginal habitat wildlife corridor links to existing wet woodland. 

DA is working on many sensitive planning sites across southern UK where a special case must be made for successful outcomes.
