Relating it to the definitions used in Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, landscape sensitivity can be defined as Objective embracing a combination of: The objective is to assess the comparative sensitivity of the • the sensitivity of the landscape resource (in terms of borough’s landscapes to development. The study excludes the both its character as a whole and the individual general urban area of Maidstone and the nationally designated elements contributing to character); Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) as these • the visual sensitivity of the landscape, assessed in are afforded protection through other policies, but includes the terms of a combination of factors such as views, fringe landscapes of both areas. visibility, the number and nature of people perceiving the landscape and the scope to mitigate visual impact.’ The landscape character areas used in this assessment are as defined in the published Maidstone Landscape Character Topic Paper 6 further defines this as a combination of landscape Assessment 2012 (excluding the Kent Downs AONB and urban character sensitivity and visual sensitivity: area of Maidstone). • Judging the sensitivity of the landscape as a whole, in Methodology terms of its overall character, its quality and condition, The methodology used to undertake this study is derived from the the aesthetic aspects of its character, and also the Landscape Character Assessment Guidance for England and sensitivity of individual elements contributing to the Scotland: Topic Paper 6 Techniques and Criteria for Judging landscape. This can be usefully referred to as landscape Capacity and Sensitivity (The Countryside Agency and Scottish character sensitivity; Natural Heritage). • Judging the visual sensitivity of the landscape, in terms of its general visibility and the potential scope to Topic Paper 6 outlines alternative approaches describing how to mitigate the visual effects of any change that might assess the overall landscape sensitivity of the landscape and/or take place. Visibility will be a function particularly of the the landscape sensitivity to particular types of change or landform of a particular type of landscape and of the development. For this study the type of development is undefined presence of potentially screening land cover, especially trees and woodland. It will also be a reflection of the numbers of people who are likely to perceive the Maidstone Landscape Capacity Study: Sensitivity Assessment - January 2015 1 Introduction landscape and any changes that occur in it, whether they are residents or visitors. Landscape character sensitivity defined within this assessment differs to landscape sensitivity defined with the Maidstone The meanings of these terms and the types of factors that need Landscape Character Assessment (Jacobs, March 2012 amended July 2013) because the methodologies are different for the two to be considered in each case are summarised in Figure 1 below. assessment types. Overall Landscape Sensitivity Matrix igh Moderate High High H Low Moderate High Moderate Low Low Moderate Low Sensitivity Character Landscape Figure 1: Topic Paper 6 Figure 1(a) Low Moderate High The assessment draws upon data in the Maidstone Landscape Visual Sensitivity Character Assessment 2012, supported by a desktop study and field verification to provide a description of the factors that contribute to landscape character sensitivity and visual sensitivity for each landscape character area within study area. A value of high, moderate or low landscape character sensitivity and visual sensitivity is assigned to each character area and combined in the matrix below to provide a value for overall landscape sensitivity. Maidstone Landscape Capacity Study: Sensitivity Assessment - January 2015 2 Introduction The combination of landscape character sensitivity and visual sensitivity assessments identifies each landscape character area’s capacity to tolerate change which is categorised into three main groups: • High overall landscape sensitivity/landscapes sensitive to change • Moderate overall landscape sensitivity/landscapes with scope for change with certain constraints • Low overall landscape sensitivity/landscapes tolerant of change Although conclusions have been reached for each of the character areas enabling them to be grouped into these categories it is not the purpose of this study to rank one character area against another. For example those landscapes that fall in the ‘sensitive to change’ category are sensitive in

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.
