Figure 5.1 Conserving and Improving Natural Heritage and the Coast<br />
Guide to the application of national planning policy statements in LDPs<br />
Locational considerations<br />
LDPs must establish a locational policy framework for the conservation and enhancement of the<br />
natural heritage (5.4.1). Specific policies should also be developed for coastal areas.<br />
The national policy statements which should inform a framework for the conservation and<br />
enhancement of the natural heritage and policies for coastal areas can be found in the following<br />
paragraphs:<br />
Paragraph<br />
<strong>Policy</strong> Issue<br />
5.2.8 Biodiversity and climate change - safeguarded areas and buffer zones (where these are mapped)<br />
5.2.11, 5.5.16, 5.5.17 Common land, town and village greens and allotments<br />

5.4.5 Areas of open space of conservation value (where these are mapped)<br />
5.6.3, 5.7.3, 5.7.4 Coastal areas<br />
Topic-based policies<br />
Topic-based policies are required for all areas and sites designated for nature and landscape<br />
(5.4.5) and for coastal protection and defence (5.7.5).<br />
The national planning policy statements on the natural heritage and the coast which should be<br />
included, or considered for inclusion, in topic-based policies in the LDP can be found in the<br />
following paragraphs:<br />
Paragraph<br />
<strong>Policy</strong> Issue<br />
