The rural nature of the county needs to be protected by protecting all agricultural land, open spaces, trees and conservation areas etc.

There is a risk that the wording effectively prevents the siting of wind turbines or solar farms anywhere in the County. I think that additional or changed wording is needed to show that renewable energy sources (which are effectively temporary in nature - in that they can be removed in the future) will be actively supported. See also policy SC1.

Rutland is a rural, agricultural county and its character should be protected. Policies must be adhered to and not ignored regarding housing development

Policy SC2 – Place shaping principles. This policy whilst welcomed, may not be capable of full consideration in relation to Quarry Farm/Monarch Park, because of the proximity to the SKDC boundary and the relationship to Stamford. At the same time SKDC will not be able to apply their policies to this proposed development.

In a similar context to Policy SC1, the draft wording for Policy SC2 confirms that local character and
distinctiveness should have regard to the Rutland Landscape Character Assessment 2022 and the RSLSS
2023. As set out above, it is considered in relation to the south of Oakham, that these assessments are
outdated as they do not reflect the Oakham Pastures development which has extended the town further
south and forms the new arrival into Oakham.

As such, this policy should be sufficiently flexible to refer to any new/updated evidence base documents
relating to landscape which are produced as part of the evidence base for this Plan (and therefore reflect
any new development which changes the character of the settlement since the March 2022 base date of
the original studies).

This policy seems to be seeking to give Local Plan status to an existing SPDs which is not appropriate. Planning policy must be made through the Local Plan process
and be subject to mandatory requirements for public consultation and independent scrutiny through the Examination process.
