Note policy NE13, a dedicated policy for addressing the AONB and its setting and suggest that an equivalent policy covering key matters relevant for the South Downs National Park would be appropriate.
Key matters to address in SDNP equivalent policy to NE13 include (but are not limited to): Development on land that contributes to the setting of the South Downs National Park should conserve and enhance the visual and special qualities, dark night skies, tranquillity and landscape character of the National Park and its setting; Development proposals in the setting of the National Park should be sensitively located and designed, should reinforce and respond to rather than detract from the distinctive landscape character and special qualities of the National Park, should be consistent with National Park purposes and must not significantly harm the National Park or its setting; Assessment of such development proposals will also have regard to the South Downs Partnership Management Plan and South Downs Local Plan and other adopted planning documents and strategies.
