BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement: Vol. 2 Main Text 13.30 Where comments have been made in relation to receptors located on private land, such as residential properties, these are based on professional judgement as to the extent and nature of what could be viewed from the property. Where possible the site survey work included visiting areas as close to any private receptors as possible. The judgements also draw on the review and understanding of the desk study. 13.31 Landscape character is a dynamic and transitional concept; NELC’s assessment was completed in 2010 and some conditions may have changed, although these changes are unlikely to be significant. 13.32 Owing to timing constraints, the site survey work has been undertaken during the summer months (June 2011), when vegetation is in leaf and the level of screening is at its greatest. However, judgements on magnitude and significance have taken this into account as an integral part of the assessment and the assessment has considered predicted changes brought about to views during the winter months, when screening would be reduced. 13.33 The ZTV modelling is based on what would be visible from a height of 1.6 m 93 . The ZTVs indicate the potential extent of visibility of specific components of the development, but do not indicate whether all or part of a structure would be visible. This judgement has been made by experienced Landscape Architects based on desk study information and field study observations. Assessment Criteria Receptor Sensitivity 13.34 An assessment of the receptor sensitivity value within the study area has been determined using the criteria in Table 13.1. Landscape and Visual Sensitivity High Medium Low Table 13.1 Landscape and Visual Receptor Sensitivity Criteria Description Example � high importance and rarity; � international scale; and � very limited potential for substitution. � medium importance and rarity; � national scale; and � limited potential for substitution. � medium to low importance and rarity; � regional scale; and � limited potential for substitution. � internationally or nationally recognised designations (e.g.: World Heritage Sites, National Parks and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)); and � long distance or national recreation routes. � nationally and regionally recognised site (e.g. part of National Park or AONB); � all (or great majority) of other nonstatutory landscape designated areas; � routes used for recreational purposes; � users of footpaths and footpaths used for recreation purposes; � residential properties. � regionally and locally recognised land (e.g. local landscape designation area); � all or great majority of area of local landscape importance; and � users of recreational locations (whose main objective is not the appreciation of views achievable). 5100935.404 Environmental Statement August 2011 228
BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement: Vol. 2 Main Text Landscape and Visual Sensitivity Minimal Criteria Description Example � low importance and rarity; and � local scale. Magnitude Classification � areas identified as having some redeeming features and or features identified for improvement; � properties used for commercial and industrial uses; and � users whose attention is focused on work or other activity. 13.35 Changes to the baseline can be either adverse or beneficial. The magnitude of that change (or effect) has been classified using the following criteria: � major (adverse) total loss of, or a major alteration to key elements of the baseline (i.e. predevelopment) landscape or view and or introduction of elements considered to be totally uncharacteristic when set within the attributes of the receiving landscape character of current setting. The overall character of the scene would be changed. Development would form a dominant and immediately apparent part of the scene; � moderate (adverse) partial loss of, or alteration to one or more key elements of the baseline landscape or view and or introduction of elements that may be prominent but may not necessarily be considered to be substantially uncharacteristic when set within the attributes of the receiving landscape. Development would form a visible and recognisable new element within the scene and would be readily noticed by the observer; � minor (adverse) minor loss of or alteration to one key element of the baseline landscape or view and or introduction of elements that may not be considered uncharacteristic when set within the attributes of the receiving landscape. Development would be a minor component of the wider view and scarcely appreciated or missed by the observer, awareness of the proposals would not have a marked effect on the view; � negligible (adverse) very minor loss or alteration to one or more key elements of the baseline landscape or view and or introduction of elements that are not uncharacteristic with the surrounding landscape. No part of the scheme would be discernable or the changes would be balanced within the view; � major (beneficial) large scale or major improvement restoration of key elements; � moderate (beneficial) partial improvement addition of one or more key elements; � minor (beneficial) minor improvement addition of one key element; and � negligible (beneficial) very minor improvement of one or more elements; change would be barely perceivable. Significance of Impact 13.36 The significance of potential impacts is assessed by combining the value sensitivity of the asset or receptor and the anticipated magnitude of the effect change. Table 13.2 shows the outcomes of these combinations. Table 13.2 is not prescriptive and a degree of professional judgement is required when assigning a level if significance to an impact. 5100935.404 Environmental Statement August 2011 229
