FPCR prepared the Landscape Character Assessment of North East Lincolnshire Borough together with an accompanying Landscape Sensitivity and Capacity Study on land surrounding each settlement area contained within the Borough boundary.
This assessment study builds upon the landscape characterisation work undertaken at a national and local level and provides a further layer of assessment with regard to landscape sensitivity and the capacity for the landscape to absorb change in the form of new development.
The purpose of the study is to provide a more detailed and refined understanding of the landscapes contained within the Borough in order to provide the context for policies and proposals within the Local Plan for North East Lincolnshire as well as an informed and reasoned evidence base in relation to future policy decisions and decision making.
