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. No tree felling would be required.

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. 4.1.6.1 No adverse observation was identified in the reporting period.
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.
