20KM)
6.64 The magnitude of impacts on the wider landscape (within 20km) is
discussed using the Joint Character Areas taken from the relevant national
character assessment and identified in the baseline section of the
assessment. The magnitude of the impacts reflects the extent to which
aspects of the development are visible within the landscape character area
and how this affects the overall appreciation of scale, remoteness, visual

magnitude using the following criteria as guidance only:
