6.0 Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment 6.0 LANDSCAPE AND VISUAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 6.1 LANDMAP information 6.2 Status of LVIA Guidelines Edition 3 March 2013 L1.0 LANDMAP 1 L1.1 LANDMAP is “the national information system, devised by the Countryside Council for Wales, for taking landscape into account in decision-making”. It allows “information about landscape to be gathered, organised and evaluated into a nationally consistent data set … that aims to be as objective as possible”. The information database contains “both relatively objective information - such as rock type and historical information - and more subjective information, such as sensory responses and cultural interpretation”. Individual studies of topics, or "aspects", of the landscape are carried out: the Visual and Sensory Aspect (VS), the Geological Landscape (GL), Landscape Habitats (LH), Historic Landscape (HL), and the Cultural Landscape (CL). L1.2 Aspect Areas are evaluated, according to the following criteria: Evaluation Criteria Outstanding of international or national importance High of regional or county importance Moderate of local importance Low of little or no importance Unknown insufficient information exists to evaluate NB: Where the Evaluation refers to ‘importance’ it is in terms of that particular Aspect only L1.3 The LANDMAP information for the landscape context study area has been published on the 2 CCW website . The VS aspect area classification, summary descriptions, and justification for the overall evaluation of the aspect areas occurring within the context of the site are set out in the following tables.

It is also responsible for some functions previously undertaken by Welsh Government. Our purpose is to ensure that the natural resources of Wales are sustainably maintained, used and enhanced, now and in the future. We work for the communities of Wales to protect people and their homes as much as possible from environmental incidents like flooding and pollution. We provide opportunities for people to learn, use and benefit from Wales' natural resources. We work to support Wales' economy by enabling the sustainable use of natural resources to support jobs and enterprise. We help businesses and developers to understand and consider environmental limits when they make important decisions. We work to maintain and improve the quality of the environment for everyone and we work towards making the environment and our natural resources more resilient to climate change and other pressures. Evidence at Natural Resources Wales Natural Resources Wales is an evidence based organisation. We seek to ensure that our strategy, decisions, operations and advice to Welsh Government and others are underpinned by sound and quality-assured evidence. We recognise that it is critically important to have a good understanding of our changing environment.

  • Planning & Development Committee 4 March 2021
    PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 4 MARCH 2021 REPORT OF: DIRECTOR PROSPERITY AND DEVELOPMENT PURPOSE OF THE REPORT Members are asked to determine the planning application outlined below: APPLICATION NO: 20/0986/10 (CHJ) APPLICANT: Enviroparks (Wales) Limited DEVELOPMENT: Construction and use of a stack with associated pipework and a continuous emissions monitoring systems gantry with ladder access. LOCATION: FIFTH AVENUE, HIRWAUN INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, HIRWAUN DATE REGISTERED: 29/09/2020 ELECTORAL DIVISION: Rhigos RECOMMENDATION: Approve subject to a S106 Agreement REASONS: The only change proposed by this application relates to a minor relocation and increase (doubling) in height of the stack and some ducting associated with the revised location. All other aspects of the development remain unchanged and are not under consideration. The application falls to be determined under two principal criteria namely (a) emissions and (b) visual amenity. In respect of emissions, this is something that is wholly governed by NRW and will be the subject of an application under the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR). NRW have advised that, for the purposes of the planning application, the emissions modelled by the applicant are acceptable (and is actually lower than modelling for the scheme granted planning permission in 2019 suggested). EPR will cover all aspects of both human health and that associated with flora and fauna that can be susceptible to changes in atmospheric conditions (in particular, the Marsh Fritillary Butterfly and Devil’s Bit Scabious within the Blaen Cynon SAC). Without an approval under EPR, the development cannot become operational (and is therefore unlikely to be constructed / completed). In respect of visual amenity, neither NRW or BBNPA have objected to the impact and an independent Landscape Consultant (White Consultants) has concluded that the impact, while being significant, is also acceptable.

  • Waterfall Country Community Engagement Plan 2020
    Waterfall Country Community Engagement Plan 2020 – 21 Introduction Historically there has been a lack of communication from stakeholders to the community regarding the projects and initiatives underway to tackle over-tourism issues. This has led to misunderstanding and resentment from the community who were unaware of the work undertaken, the different responsibilities of the different organisations or how they could contribute. Communication within the area has been better since Facebook groups have been used, but not all residents use this platform and often do not get the information they require. Engagement between partners will encourage cooperative working and community involvement. The key partners in this area are the Community Councils of Ystradfellte and Pontnedfechan Council and Penderyn and Glynneath Councils. The newly set up community group Proactive Pontneddfechan is proving invaluable for engaging with residents and identifying and managing events and celebrations to bring people together. Newsletter A quarterly newsletter, which can have additional shorter publications if needed, has already proved a successful way of disseminating information from stakeholders and within the community about the projects underway and has helped to promote community led initiatives. This is leading to greater understanding about the complexity of delivering these projects, the different responsibilities of the authorities and stakeholders involved information and stories about the natural environment and heritage a platform for community groups and members to advertise events and share activities. Online Survey – Connection to Nature COVID 19 has provided a unique environment where residents are forced to stay within their locality and exercise there. In normal circumstances the area would already see a high number of visitors but during the pandemic the lock down has prevented this.

The proposal lies within the setting of the National Park and would be visible in views towards the National Park and to a lesser extent in views from the National Park. The majority of buildings (portacabins) and car parking are proposed in areas within the existing Tower Colliery complex of buildings and hard standings. The proposal utilises mainly existing access tracks, with some new areas of hardstanding and tracks. Zip Line A (which measures 187m long) would have a tower (despatch platform) which would be 11m tall and seen on the skyline above Craig Y Llyn. The stopping and landing area gantries would be 8.4 & 7m high. Zip Line B (which measures 925m long) would have a platform which would be 5m high with 5 stopping & landing gantries up to 12.3m high. Zip Line C (which measures 620m long) would have a platform which would be 5m high, with stopping & landing area gantries 12.3m high.

As part of the statutory development plan process the Council is required to prepare an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR). The AMR will provide the basis for monitoring the progress and delivery of the LDP, the Plan’s sustainability credentials, and it identifies any significant contextual changes that might influence its implementation. This is the seventh AMR to be prepared since the adoption of the Rhondda Cynon Taf LDP and provides a further opportunity for the Council to assess the impact the LDP is having on the social, economic and environmental well-being of the County Borough. Key Findings of the Annual Monitoring Process 2017-2018 Contextual Change This section looks at local, regional, national and international factors that have had an influence on land-use development in Rhondda Cynon Taf and subsequently on the implementation of the LDP during 2017-2018. These include: A. National Policy, Guidance or Legislation: • The Town and Country Planning (Enforcement Notice and Appeals) (Wales) Regulations 2017; • The Town and Country Planning (Trees) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2017; • Draft Planning Policy Wales Edition 10; • TAN 24: The Historic Environment.
