Part (g) of the policy should make reference to considering and implementing mitigation for impacts on views from the AONB, e.g. through enhancing woodland on the eastern parts of the site and strengthening the north-south green corridor with tree and woodland planting. Also request a sensitive approach to lighting and control light spillage.

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
