6.2.6 long views<br />

long views are those that extend from the<br />

Conservation Area to prominent city centre<br />

landmark buildings, groups of buildings or<br />

features. Often views to these features have<br />

been deliberately protected in development<br />

schemes, e.g views to the Cathedral or ss<br />

great Britain, which helps to characterise the<br />

strong sense of place within the Conservation<br />

Area. Tall buildings are a notable omission<br />

in the built makeup of the <strong>City</strong> <strong>Docks</strong> (the<br />

bonded warehouses are the only buildings<br />

to feature in SPD 1: Tall Buildings). This<br />

relative lack of tall buildings contributes<br />

to the abundance of long views that are<br />

possible from within the Conservation Area.<br />

Some of the most significant long views<br />

from the Conservation Area are identified<br />
