The most important is that the new development does not harm to the landscape setting and protects views from public areas to the surrounding landscape. It aims at conserving and enhancing the character of the existing physical environment, especially the conservation areas, such as the historic listed Smithills Halland park and the historic townscape cores. Special attention is given to the massing and materials used in new development.
Actually, the development respects the large amounts of open space and the open aspects of North Bolton, which also takes special care to incorporate high quality soft landscaping using native plant.
