  • Argyll and Bute Landscape Wind Energy Capacity Study FINAL
    Argyll and Bute Landscape Wind Energy Capacity Study FINAL APPENDIX REPORT March 2012 ArgyllandButeLandscapeWindEnergyCapacityStudy AppendixReport–DetailedSensitivityAssessments March2012 Carol Anderson and Alison Grant, Landscape Architects Contents 1. Introduction to the sensitivity assessments 2. Detailed sensitivity assessment for landscape character types 3. Detailed sensitivity assessment for National Scenic Areas 2 1 Introduction to the sensitivity assessment 1.1 Sensitivity assessments have been undertaken for each character type and any sub-types defined and for the National Scenic Areas (NSA) as explained in Section 4 of the Main Study Report. 1.2 The sensitivity assessment considers sensitivity of each character type or NSA to four different wind farm/turbine typologies. An introduction to each character type is set out in the sensitivity assessments that follow. This clarifies the approach to assessment in terms of whether the whole landscape character type or sub-divisions of that type have been assessed. It also describes where any changes have been made to the boundaries or classification of character types set out in the Argyll and Firth of Clyde Landscape Assessment. Operational and consented wind farm developments, whether located within the landscape type/unit or in the surrounding area (and clearly visible from the character type being assessed), are described. A similar approach is taken for the NSA assessments although the introduction principally focuses on the description of the designated landscape and its special qualities. 1.3 This Appendix Report contains the detailed sensitivity assessment tables for landscape character types and NSAs (a summary of these only being included in the Main Study Report). The sensitivity scores outlined in the summary of sensitivity are made on the basis of a five point scale; High, High-medium, Medium, Medium-low and Low.
