Policy ENV5: Street Lighting
Policy ENV5: Street Lighting
- Street lighting should be restricted to main roads only. Side roads should only have low-level lighting for safety of residents.
- There are mixed views on the need for street lighting within the village. On the one hand residents want to limit the impact on dark skies. However, there was also concern for safety, and so a compromise has been reached to have street lighting on main roads and low-level lighting for safety on side roads. It was also felt critical that no street lighting has an impact on woodland, so as not to impact the biodiversity and amenity value of the woods, but this is already provided for through national decision-making policies. The policy has been retained from the made Neighbourhood Plan.
