The LVIA study area is defined as a 4km radius area from the outer edge of the Converter Station Compound, a 1km radius around the Landfall and a 500m strip either side of the onshore cable route and associated access routes and construction compounds (Figure 29.1). This includes all those areas within which potentially significant landscape and visual impacts of the proposed project may occur. These extents were applied in the EAOW ONE Environmental Statement.


29.2 Types of Impact 4.


5.


The LVIA is intended to determine the impacts that the proposed project will have on the landscape and visual resource.


For the purpose of assessment, the potential impacts on the landscape and visual resource are grouped into three categories: landscape impacts, visual impacts and cumulative landscape and visual impacts, each of which is briefly described below.


6.


Landscape impacts: the LVIA considers the impacts of the proposed project on the landscape as a resource. Landscape impacts occur as either impacts on the landscape elements of the site, or impacts on the landscape character of the site and surroundings. The assessment of landscape impacts is carried out as follows:





Assessment of impacts on landscape elements, which are the direct impacts on the landscape elements of the site as a result of the proposed project, such as the removal of trees or alteration to ground cover.





Assessment of impacts on landscape character, which arise either through the introduction of new elements that alter the landscape character in the immediate locale, or through visibility of the proposed project, which may alter the landscape character as perceived from surrounding parts. Landscape Character is defined as the distinct and recognisable pattern of elements that occurs consistently in a particular type of landscape, and relates to the way in which this pattern is perceived. Landscape character receptors fall into two groups; landscape character areas and landscape designations.


7.


Visual impacts: the LVIA considers the impact of the proposed project on views and visual amenity. Visual impacts include impacts on visual receptors, i.e. groups of people that may experience an impact, and views (viewpoints). The visual assessment is carried out as follows:





An assessment of the impacts of the proposed project on views from principal visual receptors, including residents of settlements; motorists using roads;
