At this distance, movement of the wind turbines is clear and may collectively convey a distinct rhythm. Between 25km Likely to be seen as one of the key elements of the landscape rather (Close views) than the dominant feature and the entire turbine is more likely to be visible at this distance. Between 515km Usually only prominent in clear visibility conditions and is seen as (Mid distant views part of the wider landscape composition, although the movement of blades may still be discernible. Between 1525km Only likely to be seen in very clear visibility conditions and where a (Distant views) viewer deliberately searches for the feature, the weather conditions are such that the turbine is highlighted against its surroundings, or views are orientated to face the turbine as a focus. Turbines from this distance are usually seen as a minor element of a wide landscape composition and the movement of blades is generally unclear. Visual Impact Assessment 5.3.17. Assessing the overall impact on visual amenity is achieved by relating the sensitivity of the visual receptors or features, to the potential magnitude of change to a particular view. 53 5.3.18. General assumptions have been made in accordance with current guidance in relation to the sensitivity of visual receptors. 1. Although residents may be particularly sensitive to changes in their visual amenity, most land use planning regimes consider that public views are of greater value than views from private properties. However, the cumulative effects on a number of residents may be considered to give rise to an effect on the community. 2. People travelling through or past the affected landscapes in cars, on trains or other transport routes may also be important, depending on extent or scale of view and duration. Table 12: Visual Sensitivity and Typical Descriptors* Sensitivity Typical Criteria High Residential properties Users of Public Rights of Way or other recreational trails (e.g. National Trails, footpaths, bridleways etc.). Users of recreational facilities where the purpose of that recreation is enjoyment of the countryside. Moderate Outdoor workers Users of scenic roads, railways or waterways or users of designated tourist routes. Schools and other institutional buildings, and their outdoor areas. Low Indoor workers Users of main roads (e.g. trunk roads) or passengers in public transport on main arterial routes. Users of recreational facilities where the purpose of that recreation is not related to the view (e.g. sports facilities). * Table is derived from Interim Advice Note 135/10. Magnitude of Visual Effect 5.3.19. The magnitude of a visual effect is about understanding the scale, nature, extent and duration of visual change a new development will have on a view as well as the screening present. Establishing the magnitude of change in the visual envelope will also take into 54 account any proposed mitigation measures.
