Car Parking, Formed Driveways & Roads To minimise the visual impact of car parking, formed driveways, access tracks and roads on the landscape, particularly when visible from main road corridors and other publicly accessible locations. Site and design roads, access tracks, driveways and car parking areas to reduce visual intrusion by conforming to topography and maintaining vegetation as a screen. In highly visible locations, use dark, locally sourced material for gravel roads and driveways where possible. Site buildings and structures to utilise existing access roads and car parks where possible.

Roads, access tracks and driveways which require the removal of substantial vegetation or constructed of bright and/ or highly contrasting materials.
