Relaxation of Visibility Standards in Exceptional Circumstances

Visibility standards may be relaxed in exceptional cases to secure other important planning objectives, but only where this does not create danger.

It is recognised that it may not always be practicable to comply fully with the appropriate visibility standards. Such standards, like all material considerations, need to be assessed in light of the particular circumstances of the individual case. Exceptionally a relaxation in standards may be acceptable in order to secure other important planning objectives. Visibility standards, however, will not be reduced to such a level that danger is likely to be caused.
