Strategic Growth Options

The consultation document refers to fenland landscapes and also implies that the A127 has greater development potential due to it having a "different landscape character". The inference seems to be that the landscape is less attractive than elsewhere in the Borough. Whilst it does indeed have a different landscape character to the North of the Borough, the local residents' value of the open space and farmland should not be considered any lower than residents of the North of the Borough. The open, fenland landscape is valued extremely highly by local residents, and contributes to an open rural feel to this area and local settlements.
