34.16.1 There are certain parts of the Darras Hall Estate which are notably more attractive and mature in character than others. The most apparent of these is the area on the north side of the estate centred around Runnymede and Darras roads. The characteristics which distinguish this area from the rest of Darras Hall are as follows: a lower dwelling density, deeper and wider plot sizes, more extensive areas of woodland and roadside hedgerows and a higher incidence of open fields and paddocks. All these features could easily be eroded by indiscriminate and unplanned development. The area has such special and distinctive qualities that they need to be retained. In order to preserve these outstanding qualities a general restriction on new residential development in the Runnymede and Darras Road Area is proposed.
