Landscape and Visual Impacts from surrounding views
Landscape and Visual Impacts. The Consultants shall follow the criteria and guidelines for evaluating and assessing landscape and visual impacts as stated in Annexes 10 and 18 of the TM respectively. Landscape Impact Assessment and Visual Impact Assessment shall be studied separately. Clear mapping of landscape and visual impact assessment is required. Both assessments shall consist of the following major elements: description of assessment methodology and setting up assessment criteria for landscape assessment and visual impact assessment respectively; identification of existing landscape and visual characteristics of the study area including visual envelop, sensitive receivers and representative viewpoints; assessment of existing landscape and visual quality of the study area including a review of the relevant planning and development control framework; illustration of the Project by photomontage from different viewing angles; assessment and quantification of the landscape impacts of the Projects and assessment of visual impacts of the proposed developments to individual receptors and identification of the most affected landscape and views; and proposals of mitigation measures required for the affected area and supported by visual materials such as photomontage or sketches.

Landscape and Visual Impacts. Introduction 5.2 Methodology
Landscape and Visual Impacts. 4.10.1.1 The design, implementation and maintenance of the proposed landscape and visual mitigation measures should be checked to ensure that they are incorporated in the detailed design. Implementation of the applicable recommended mitigation measures should be checked at least once every two weeks through the site audit programme during the construction phase. No specific monitoring or audit for landscape and visual is considered necessary during operation phase.
Landscape and Visual Impacts. Modern farm buildings are a common and established feature of the Borders landscape and their design is now fairly standardised. The proposed building would feature many of the familiar characteristics of such buildings: a low pitched roof; profiled sheet cladding; and a matt juniper green finish. The scale, and particularly the length of these buildings, are great and the fit of such buildings in the receiving landscape requires careful attention. The proposed feed bins, which are greater in height than the building itself, are also a key consideration. The proposed development would introduce a further large building into the landscape but the siting of the building avoids the need for mitigation as extensive as that agreed for Sheds 3 and 4. This development would not be prominent from any public road, though may be visible in long views. Landform and woodland blocks will screen most views from the public road. On account of the greater visibility of this site compared to the neighbouring Shed 5 application, the outlines of a tree planting scheme have been agreed to the north, west and south of the building that in time, would serve to screen the building further. This scheme can be further refined via condition. In the immediate term, views from the west and north-west would be filtered by existing xxxxxx and mature hedgerow trees, particularly in summer. The Landscape Officer has highlighted the importance of these trees both in their own right and for their screening value. A 15m separation distance has been agreed between the proposed development and these trees and further tree protection measures will be secured by condition. The infilling of the hedge and hedgerow trees has also been agreed with the applicant. The dwellinghouse known as ‘Xxxxxx Castle Barns’ would also be a private visual receptor. The proposed site is located over 800m from this property. The development would be visible from this property in combination with the previous developments known as Sheds 3 and 4, which are now built. Graded bunding already screens both these buildings to xxxxx height or higher. In time, they should be screened entirely from this private view by trees already planted for Shed 3 and which will be planted shortly for Shed 4. Shed 6 would remain partially visible in the medium term, until planting matures, but at a significantly greater distance, and views would be filtered by the existing mature hedgerow trees. Whilst the planning system does not seek t...
Landscape and Visual Impacts. A total of 375, 243 and 589 trees were scheduled for felling, transplanting and retaining respectively (refer to Appendix 8-A). The locations of affected trees/palms are shown in Figure 8-19.
