Its difficult to see how

7.118 The flatness of the landscape makes the AONB particularly vulnerable to visual intrusion from inappropriate development, both within or adjacent to the boundary, which can often be seen from significant distances across inlets, the main harbour channels, or open countryside. The District Council will have particular regard to these characteristics in determining development proposals affecting the AONB.

Is consistent with proposal AL6 - this is arable farmland offering an unobstructed view from the CH AONB of the Cathedral currently and supports a variety of wildlife. Any development here including a raised road (needed to avoid flooding) will have a direct impact on the AONB as its is adjacent to its boundary, any development will add visual obstruction to the landscape and air, noise and light pollution. The aim to have Dark Skies across the area will undoubtably be impacted let alone the noise will carry across landscape making a significant intrusive change and cause harm to the area.
