The visual impact of the proposal on a number of premises in the area, which have direct line of sight in their viewshed, is considered significant and unacceptable for those residents. 8. The applicant’s visual impact assessment fails to satisfactorily assess the degree and extent of visual impacts resulting from the proposed development and it is considered impacts are likely to be greater than has been currently identified. B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
