The approach starts by
understanding the features that make up the character of these
landscapes. What makes the landscape around Hilton Park different
to the landscape along the Smestow Brook? The landscape policies in
the Council’s Local Plan aim to protect these differences and
encourage enhancement of the landscape and the habitats that it
contains.
They follow the Council’s aims
‘to protect and improve South Staffordshire’s distinctive
environment’ and ‘to develop South Staffordshire as a more
enjoyable and safer place to be’.
The Council implements these
policies through:
- Giving landscape evidence at public enquiries
- Landscape conditions on planning permissions
- The design and layout of public open space
- The protection of trees and hedgerows
- Tree and shrub planting, heathland management, and nature
conservation
- Reclamation of derelict land and environmental improvements in
village centres
- Grounds maintenance of open spaces, playing fields, and village
verges
