| Area of Separation (d) Between Cosby and Whetstone | |
|---|---|
| Question | Answer |
| Conclusion | The land has an open character and provides a distinct sense of separation between settlements. The edges of the settlements are reinforced by the disused railway lane and M1 although intervisibility is limited. There are some existing residential dwellings and an industrial estate in the space between the settlements, which although outside of the designation interrupt the sense of separation between the settlements. Area of Separation Score: Moderate/Strong Contribution |
| Recommendation | The Area of Separation should be retained subject to consideration of development needs. |
