    Viking Wind Farm Technical Appendix 4.1 Section 36 Variation Application Criteria for Landscape and Visual Appraisal TECHNICAL APPENDIX 4.1: CRITERIA FOR LANDSCAPE AND VISUAL APPRAISAL 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 This technical appendix details the various criteria and definitions which have been used for Landscape and Visual Appraisal (LVA) of the consented Viking Wind Farm and proposed varied development (comprising the variation of 10 m increase in turbine tip height and increased rotor diameter of up to 120 m). Assessment Guidance 1.1.2 The LVAs have been carried out in accordance with best practice guidance, Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Assessment (Third Edition) (GLVIA3). 1.1.3 Whilst criteria are provided, the allocation of these to various landscape areas and visual receptors and application of potential effect ratings has been undertaken using professional judgement. All criteria given should be considered as points on a continuum. 1.2 Landscape Appraisal Landscape Value 1.2.1 The relative value of the landscape is an important consideration in informing judgement of the significance of effects. Value concerns the perceived importance of the landscape, when considered as a whole and within the context of the study area. Landscape Value is established through consideration of the following factors: • Presence of landscape designations, other inventory or registered landscapes/landscape features or identified planning constraints; • The scenic quality of the landscape; • Perceptual aspects such as wildness or tranquillity; • Conservation interests such as cultural heritage features or associations, or if the landscape supports notable habitats or species; • Recreational value; and • Rarity, either in the national or local context, or if it is considered to be a particularly important example of a specific landscape type.
