Site 036c: Development on the higher elevations would be open to views from the AONB. Proposed site access is a concern as much of the site's screening depends on retention of tree belt and infrastructure along A34.

Request a development brief/masterplan for the site that includes the following requirements:
- The wooded buffer alongside the A34 retained, protected and enhanced, along with retention and enhancement of other site vegetation.
- Dwellings with higher elevations located on the lower parts of the site and away from the south and southeast parts of the site
- A vegetated buffer including tree and hedge planting on the site’s southern boundary to filter views of development.
- A sensitive approach to lighting to minimise light spillage to help conserve the darker skies of the AONB and reduce impacts on wildlife

Site 016: Key requirements for this site are noted and welcomed
