as <strong>drainage</strong> design measures, or proposals for phasing parts of <strong>the</strong> development to restrict<br />

operations to a limited part of <strong>the</strong> year or day. Judgement may be made on <strong>the</strong> likelihood of<br />

9.2.8 Prediction of <strong>the</strong> magnitude of impacts should not be confused with evaluation of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

sensitivity / importance / quality of <strong>the</strong> <strong>environment</strong>al resource which is affected.<br />
