1.6. Magnitude of Effects
The nature of the effect that is likely to occur, i.e. its magnitude is determined by considering four separate factors, namely:
- Size/scale;
- Geographical extent;
- Duration;
- Reversibility
The LSA format should take the following form:
- Executive Summary Description of Proposal
- Relevant Statutory and Non-Statutory Provisions
- Existing Landscape
- Alternatives
- Landscape and Visual Effects
- Design and Mitigation Measures
Such a structure addresses the matters that need to be included in an AEE as listed in RMA Schedule 4(1).
