The Comprehensive Plan concerns itself primarily with preserving West Newbury's town character over the next twenty years, during which the vast majority of open developable land will be more vulnerable than ever to changes in use and therefore, in appearance.

The distinction is not one of semantics: managing growth to preserve a town's individuality requires a qualitative perspective about growth that should be differentiated from controlling the rate and amount of growth, which calls for a quantitative perspective.
