Landscape and Visual Impact. The development is required to be assessed against relevant landscape and visual amenity requirements of LDP Policies ED8 and PMD2, ensuring successful integration into their local environment. The site is bound by a substantial hedge to the east and north with woodland edges to the water courses to the west and south of the site; therefore Policy EP13 seeks to ensure that woodland resources are not lost where they contribute positively to the amenity of the area. The site is not located within any designated landscape area under the LDP. The Settlement Profile in the LDP recognises that Foulden does benefit from a stunning setting in the landscape lying in an area of sloping arable lowland where the Tweed Valley meets the Northumberland plain. Despite the site occupying a parcel of this rising land to the north of Foulden, its exiting boundary planting results in the site being quite well contained and relatively inconspicuous in the wider landscape. Potential views of the proposal are of a localised nature. The development has been designed so that the existing tree and hedge cover can be retained and enhanced through the landscaping scheme proposed by this development. This landscape framework along with the topography results in there being minimal views of the development from any public areas to the east and north. It was queried if the location of the wetland area in the southern corner of the site would cause in tree or hedge removed however the applicants have confirmed this system will not cause the removal of any mature planting from this area which provides some crucial screening on approach to the site from the minor road. The key receptors will be from the A6105 to the south and west of the proposal within Foulden itself. The existing planting to the south and west of the site will offer various degrees of screening as you travel along the A6105. From these points the north western third of the site would be the most visible. To help mitigate the visual impact of the development from these locations the developers have reduced the number of lodges in this development and moved some lodges away from the higher edges of site. This has enabled additional planting to be provided, in particular along the northern edge of the site which will contain views of the development. The sloping topography of the site means that the lodges will require some groundworks to provide flat platforms for development. The updated section plan (Drawing No 17-B551-P...
Landscape and Visual Impact. During the construction works, temporary scaffolding and working platforms would be erected on the slope face to install soil nails and carry out landscaping works. Tree felling would not be required during earthworks for the landslip preventive works at the five features.

Landscape and Visual Impact. Three Landscape Character Areas (LCAs) were identified and the residual impacts on the LCA1 (Foreshore Landscape) will be moderate. For LCA2 (Inshore Waters Landscape), the residual impact will be slight and for LCA3 (Coastal Rural/Suburban Landscape) the residual impact will be negligible. Two new LCAs will also be created ‘Recreational Beach Landscape’ and ‘Coastal Urban Recreational Landscape’ as a consequence of the project. Of the seven Landscape Resources (LRs) identified, there will be no significant residual impacts on any of the LRs after the implementation of mitigation measures. There will be moderate residual impacts on Trees/Backshore Shrubland and the Xxxxx/Rocky Beach LRs. There will be slight residual impacts on the Water LR and for the Shrubland, Xxxxx, Xxxx and Village, the residual impacts will be negligible. One new LR will also be created ‘Xxxxx Beach’ as a consequence of the project. Four visually sensitive receivers (VSRs) including VSR 1 (Xxx Xxx Tuk), VSR 2 (Lung Mei Residents), VSR 3 (BBQ site) and VSR 4 (Lo Tsz Tin residents) were identified. The un- mitigated visual impacts for VSR 1 (Xxx Xxx Tuk), VSR 2 (Lung Mei Residents) and VSR 4 (Lo Tsz Tin residents) in operation stage will be significant. However, with the implementation of the mitigation measures, the impact will be more acceptable resulting in moderate/significant in Operation Day 1 and moderate in Operation Year 10. For VSR 3 (BBQ Site - West of the site), the unmitigated visual impacts will be moderate/significant. However, with the implementation of the mitigation measures, the impact will be reduced to moderate in Operation Day 1 and slight in Operation Year 10. In sum, the proposed beach development will inevitably change the existing waterfront view of the area. However, there will be no significant residual impacts for any VSRs. With the adoption of the mitigation measures, the residual impact will be reduced to a large extent and is considered acceptable. There will be various lighting fixtures associated with the project, with the most visible light source being the carpark lighting. Whilst these lights will contribute to the general ambient light levels of the area, the impacts are not expected to be significant. According to Annex 10 of the Technical Memorandum on the Environmental Impact Assessment Process (EIAO-TM) the Landscape and Visual Impacts are considered acceptable with mitigation.
Landscape and Visual Impact. The CT10 Development is generally compatible with the prevailing land uses and landscape character at the SWTY site and it is considered that landscape and visual impacts associated with the development could be mitigated to acceptable levels. Potential mitigation measures include reinstatement/compensatory tree and shrub planting, tree planting screens, reduction of excessive height and bulk of structures, sensitive architectural and chromatic treatment, green roofs and vertical greening and aesthetic improvement planting of viaduct structures. The combined landscape and visual impacts at Tsing Yi would be similar for the three options
Landscape and Visual Impact. Based on the preliminary tree survey conducted, it is estimated that 1250 trees will be retained, 43 trees will be transplanted and 756 trees will be felled. Due to the scope of works, the trees of direct conflict with the Project are mainly located alongside of Kam Tin Road and Xxx Xxx Road. The tree loss will be compensated through the planting and growth to maturity of not less than 756 heavy standard trees (with a DBH not less than 10cm) would be required for compensation in 1:1 ratio. Summaries of environmental impacts, assessment methodologies, assumptions and limitations are given in Appendix 13.1 and 13.2 of the EIA Report.
Landscape and Visual Impact. 3.8.1 In terms of Annex 10 of the EIAO-TM, the landscape and visual impacts are considered to be acceptable with mitigation measures. While the residual impact on the landscape resources (the natural coastline and topography along the western side of Junk Bay and inner Junk Bay as well as the Character Area of inner Junk Bay) will remain substantial, the current design of the Project has already minimised the amount of reclamation as far as practicable and also ensures that other valued resources including areas of coral further along the coast would not be disturbed.
