Impacts that are assessed within the red boxes in the matrix are assessed to be significant in terms of the requirements of the EIA Regulations. Those impacts that are assessed within the orange boxes may be significant, or not significant, depending on the specific factors and impact that is assessed in respect of a particular landscape or visual receptor. Those impacts that are assessed within the green boxes are assessed to be not significant. In accordance with the GLVIA3, experienced professional judgement is applied to the assessment of all impacts and reasoned justification is presented in respect of the findings.
29.4 Assessment of Landscape Impacts 13.
Impacts on landscape character arise either through the introduction of new elements that physically alter this pattern of elements, or through visibility of the proposed project, which may alter the way in which the pattern of elements is perceived. This category of impacts is made up of physical impacts and landscape impacts. The latter fall into two groups; landscape character areas and designated areas.
29.4.1 Assessment of Impacts on Physical Impacts 14.
The physical impacts of the proposed project are restricted to the area of the site where existing landscape elements may be changed. Physical impacts are the direct impacts as a result of the proposed project on the fabric of the site, such as the removal of trees and alteration to ground cover. The objective of the assessment of physical impacts is to determine what the likely physical impacts of the proposed project will be, which landscape elements will be affected, and whether these impacts will be significant or not significant. The variables considered in the
