In a significant test case for new landscape protection legislation, campaigners argue that a car park extension threatens habitats and public access in Dedham Vale.
Campaigners are contesting a 200-metre wall built as part of a car park extension, claiming it inhibits access to an ancient pilgrimage path and violates habitat protections.
The Dedham Vale case highlights the potential impact of the new Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023, which mandates that public bodies protect national landscapes in their decisions.
Charles Clover of the Dedham Vale Society emphasizes the need for strict adherence to new landscape protections, urging regulatory bodies to prioritize environmental considerations in planning.
