  • 13 Socio-Economics and Tourism
    Visual Impact Provision (VIP) Snowdonia Project, Environmental Appraisal Volume 1 13 SOCIO-ECONOMICS AND TOURISM 13.1 Introduction 13.1.1 This chapter of the Environmental Appraisal assesses the potential effects on socio-economic and tourism receptors associated with the construction, operation and decommissioning phases of the Visual Impact Provision (VIP), Snowdonia Project (hereafter referred to as the Proposed Project). 13.1.2 The potential effects considered in this appraisal are summarised under five subtopics, as follows: • Tourism: potential effects on tourism attractions and tourism hubs and the wider tourism sector (including the Snowdonia National Park), such as changes in access and/or amenity1. • Recreation: potential effects on recreational receptors such as changes in access and/or amenity. Recreational receptors include public rights of way (PRoW), cycle routes, long distance walking routes (LDWR), open access land, nature reserves and marine-related leisure activities. • Community amenity: potential amenity effects2 on community settlements and residents. • Employment: an overview of the potential direct and indirect employment generation on a local and regional basis. • Supply chain: expenditure within the local and national supply chain. 13.1.3 In the context of this appraisal, ‘amenity’ is the term used to describe the character or attractiveness of an area. When two or more environmental effects are experienced by the same receptors (e.g. a cycling route), amenity can be affected, with the potential to deter users (e.g. cyclists). The following environmental effects are considered in the amenity appraisal: landscape and visual effects; traffic and transport effects; and noise and vibration effects. Due to these important interactions between environmental effects and socio-economic and tourism receptors, it is recommended that this chapter is read in conjunction with Chapter 6 (Landscape and Visual), Chapter 12 (Traffic and Transport) and Chapter 14 (Noise and Vibration).

  • NLCA06 Snowdonia - Page 1 of 12
    National Landscape Character 31/03/2014 NLCA06 Snowdonia Eryri – Disgrifiad cryno Dyma fro eang, wledig, uchel, sy’n cyd-ffinio’n fras â Pharc Cenedlaethol Eryri. Ei nodwedd bennaf yw ei mynyddoedd, o ba rai yr Wyddfa yw mynydd uchaf Cymru a Lloegr, yn 3560’ (1085m) o uchder. Mae’r mynyddoedd eraill yn cynnwys y Carneddau a’r Glyderau yn y gogledd, a’r Rhinogydd a Chadair Idris yn y de. Yma ceir llawer o fryndir mwyaf trawiadol y wlad, gan gynnwys pob un o gopaon Cymru sy’n uwch na 3,000 o droedfeddi. Mae llawer o nodweddion rhewlifol, gan gynnwys cribau llymion, cymoedd, clogwyni, llynnoedd (gan gynnwys Llyn Tegid, llyn mwyaf Cymru), corsydd, afonydd a rhaeadrau. Mae natur serth y tir yn gwneud teithio’n anodd, a chyfyngir mwyafrif y prif ffyrdd i waelodion dyffrynnoedd a thros fylchau uchel. Yn ddaearegol, mae’n ardal amrywiol, a fu â rhan bwysig yn natblygiad cynnar gwyddor daeareg. Denodd sylw rhai o sylfaenwyr yr wyddor, gan gynnwys Charles Darwin, a archwiliodd yr ardal ym 1831. Y mae ymhell, fodd bynnag, o fod yn ddim ond anialdir uchel. Am ganrifoedd, bu’r ardal yn arwydd ysbryd a rhyddid y wlad a’i phobl. Sefydlwyd bwrdeistrefi Dolgellau a’r Bala yng nghyfnod annibyniaeth Cymru cyn y goresgyniad Eingl-normanaidd. Felly, hefyd, llawer o aneddiadau llai ond hynafol fel Dinas Mawddwy. O’i ganolfan yn y Bala, dechreuodd y diwygiad Methodistaidd ar waith trawsffurfio Cymru a’r ffordd Gymreig o fyw yn y 18fed ganrif a’r 19eg. Y Gymraeg yw iaith mwyafrif y trigolion heddiw.

  • DWYRYD ESTUARY and MORFA HARLECH Component Lcas (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component Lcas (Gwynedd): Porthmadog
    SEASCAPE CHARACTER AREA 21: DWYRYD ESTUARY AND MORFA HARLECH Component LCAs (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component LCAs (Gwynedd): Porthmadog Location and Context This SCA is located in the northern part of the west Snowdonia coast. It includes the Dwyryd estuary from its mouth near Porthmadog to its inland tidal limit at Tan-y-bwlch. It also includes Morfa Harlech on the southern shore of the estuary, and the towns of Harlech and Penrhyndeudraeth. To the north is SCA 20: Porthmadog and Glaslyn Estuary, to the west is SCA 19: Criccieth to Mochras, and to the south is SCA 22: Mochras to Fairbourne and Sarn Badrig. View across the Dwyryd Estuary from Ynys, showing intertidal habitats, the village of Portmeirion and the mountains of Snowdonia forming the backdrop. Image © Fiona Fyfe Summary Description Views of this SCA are dominated by the broad landform of the Dwyryd estuary, with its extensive salt marshes, sand, mud and dune system (Morfa Harlech). The estuary also contains distinctive ‘islands’ and ridges of higher ground on either side. Overlooking the estuary are the contrasting villages of Harlech (with its Medieval castle on the valley side), Portmeirion with its Italianate architecture, and the industrial village of Penrhyndeudraeth. Surrounding the estuary are the wooded hills of Snowdonia, which form a majestic backdrop to picturesque views from lower land. In the eastern part of SCA, the valley narrows as the river flows inland. Here, the Afon Dwyryd has been heavily modified flows between areas of improved grazing, with main roads on both sides of the valley floor.
