2. First Discussion Topic
GLA’s Views Management Framework has been issued to replace the 12 protected views of St Paul’s Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament. The Chairman introduced Richard Coleman and John Hare from The Richard Coleman Consultancy who had provided consultancy advice to the GLA in preparing the SPG material for the review of Strategic Views. This guidance is intended to build on the policies within the London Plan for the management of views as the policies do not include geographical information for individual views. The Plan proposed the production of SPG setting out details such as the exact position of viewing points and the width of protected viewing corridors.
The SPG will aim to replace the existing "10 Strategic Views" in London which will mean that in future views will be an issue to be dealt with through the London Plan process rather than through regional planning guidance.
