It is noted that the Vision remains broadly the same as that presented in the adopted Core Strategy with regard to the aspirations to protect and enhance the district’s rural character, communities, and landscape. It is considered that on this element it remains relevant and is
broadly supported.
Local Plan Review Vision does now include, however, the Council’s declared climate emergency (declared in 2019), with greater emphasis placed on providing homes which
accord with NPPF 8c which sets out that in order to achieve sustainable development, proposals should mitigate and adapt to climate change. It also seeks to 'protect and enhance' the District as it currently exists, rather than thinking forward and considering how
growth could better the District as a whole.
