Dawn Developments Ltd/467374673/Queen’s Quay Masterplan EIA/KD 04/01/2012 Major Mixed Use Development, Queen's Quay, Clydebank EIA Scoping Report will seek to evaluate habitats and species and place them into context based on consultation and published guidance. The source, nature and magnitude of each impact will be identified and an assessment of the significance of the impact on valued ecological receptors will be made. Page 29 Final for Issue
7. LANDSCAPE & VISUAL 7.1 Introduction Dawn Developments Ltd/467374673/Queen’s Quay Masterplan EIA/KD 04/01/2012 Major Mixed Use Development, Queen's Quay, Clydebank EIA Scoping Report A Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) will be undertaken as part of the EIA of the Development to determine the impact of the proposals on landscape character and key views of the site. 7.2 Consultation An initial consultation response on the scope of the LVIA has already been received from Scottish Natural Heritage and it is expected that the comments made will be repeated formally within the <strong>Council</strong>’s written Scoping Opinion. The following key points were raised by SNH during the consultation exercise: “LANDSCAPE OBJECTIVES We consider that the creative challenge is how the development would incorporate a robust and high quality green network (contributing to the wider green network beyond) which enhances local landscape features and particularly the connectivity of the Clyde waterfront for people and wildlife. This should ensure that ‘personality’ in the landscape is an integral part of the development design, meeting Scottish Government objectives for increased quality of place. Relevant guidelines are in PAN 83- Good practice advice on master planning, and in the Government publications “Designing Places” and "Designing streets”. DETAILS RE LVIA 7.3 Baseline Analysis within the LVIA should include landform, views in and out, historical features, surrounding built forms, local architectural styles and materials, and existing and potential connections with the Clydebank townscape, the riverside, and adjoining sites. It should highlight positive aspects of the location and visual relationships, which the design should strive to relate to. It should also take account of the following: • the site forms a key part of Clydebank's urban boundary, and its landscape character has a rural element, visually influenced by the farmland (and wooded drumlins behind) south-west of the Clyde; • the site is set within a complex landscape defined by strong topographical contrasts, vegetation patterns (including absence!) and man-made divisions created by transportation corridors.” The Development site is a particularly urban area and it is expected that this type of site would be fairly simple to assess; however, the previous shipyard was home to widely diverging areas. It will be necessary to establish, and consider, the landscape and urban Page 30 Final for Issue
