Strategic Open Breaks

Stategic Open Breaks maintain the physical separation of certain settlements, development within the following open breaks will be limited to that which retains their open character and their contribution to the settlements’ setting. Development proposals on open breaks will be subject to policy S22 and in addition will not be permitted if they result in: a) harm to the openness or landscape character of the area, including local views or would otherwise result in significant harm to settlements in their wider landscape setting, or b) loss of environmental or historical assets that individually or collectively contribute to local identity.战略性开放缓冲区（Strategic Open Breaks）用于维持特定聚居区间的物理分隔，后续在该类开放缓冲区内开展的开发活动，需以保留其开放属性及其对聚居地整体景观格局的贡献为限。 针对开放缓冲区的开发提案须遵循政策S22的相关要求，若出现以下任一情形，则不予批准： a) 对区域的开放性或景观风貌造成损害，包括破坏本地观景视野，或对聚居地的全域景观格局造成显著负面影响； b) 导致环境或历史资产流失，而此类资产无论单独存在还是整体组合，均对本地地域特色具有支撑作用。
