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 />
