would not necessarily be on the surrounding landscape views. Conversely, moreemphasis is placed upon receptors whose change in view or visual amenity is eitherthe prime focus, greater in scale or potentially covers a wider area.The degree and importance of the view gained by a receptor also contributes to anunderstanding of how sensitive a given receptor is towards change. Therefore, valueof the view and scenic quality are also taken into account in the assessment. In thisassessment, sensitivity to change is ranked as follows:Table 7.5: Sensitivity RatingSensitivityDefinitionHighMediumLowIndividual dwellings or dwelling groupings with a view in which the newscheme would become an important focal element from either gardensor room windows, both upper and lower storey Roads, footpaths andbridleways, and public open spaces with a view in which the newscheme would be an important focal element in that view.Individual dwellings or dwelling groupings with a view from eithergardens or room windows, both upper and lower storey, in which thenew scheme would not be a focal element but would be a notableelement in the view.Roads, footpaths and bridleways, and public open spaces with a view inwhich the new scheme would not be a focal element but would be anotable element in the view.Industrial / commercial buildings with a view in which the new schemewould be a focal element in the viewDwellings with a view from either gardens or room windows, both upperand lower storey, in which the new scheme would not be a notableelement in the view but would be discernible.Roads, footpaths and bridleways, and public open spaces with a view inwhich the new scheme would not be a notable element in the view butwould be discernible.Industrial / commercial buildings with a view in which the new schemewould not be a focal element but would be a notable element in theview.Magnitude of ChangeMagnitude of change considers the extent of development visible, the percentage ofthe existing view newly occupied by the proposals and the viewing distance from thereceptor to the development. In this assessment magnitude is ranked as follows:Table 7.6: Magnitude of Change42
MagnitudeHighMediumLowNo ChangeDefinitionWhere the development would cause a substantial change to theexisting view.Where the development would cause a very noticeable change to theexisting view.Where the development would cause a noticeable change to theexisting view.Where the development would cause no discernible change to theexisting view.Impact RatingsThe findings are represented using a descriptive scale ranging from large - moderate- slight and adverse through neutral to an ascending scale of slight - moderate - largeand beneficial. There is a further impact rating, very large adverse, which is used toindicate impact on a receptor of very high sensitivity, significantly affecting an existingview of very high value and quality. Such a rating would indicate that the impact isconsidered highly prejudicial in relation to the specific topic of visual impact.The various levels of impact can be applied to individual properties, businesses,groups of housing, areas of open space and lengths of footpath.
