and temporary, positive and negative effects of the project.
Effects on human beings
,
buildings and man-made features
3.1
Change in population arising from the development, and consequential environment effects.
3.2
Visual effects of the development on the surrounding area and landscape.
3.3
Levels and effects of emissions from the development during normal operation.
3.4
Levels and effects of noise from the development.
3.5
Effects of the development on local roads and transport.
3.6
Effects of the development on buildings, the architectural and historic heritage,
archaeological features and other human artefacts, e.g. through pollutants, visual intrusion,
vibration.
Effects on flora, fauna and geology
3.7
Loss of, and damage to, habitats and plant and animal species.
3.8
Loss of, and damage to, geological, palaeontological and physiographic features.
3.9 Other ecological consequences.
Effects on land
3.10 Physical effects of the development, e.g. change in local topography, effect of earth-moving
on stability, soil erosion, etc.
3.11 Effects of chemical emissions and deposits on soil of site and surrounding land.
3.12 Land-use/resource effects:
•
quality and quantity of agricultural land to be taken;
•
sterilization of mineral resources;
•
other alternative uses of the site, including the “do-nothing” option;
•
effect on surrounding land uses including agriculture;
•
waste disposal.
Effects on water
3.13 Effects of development on drainage pattern in the area.
3.14 Changes to other hydrographic characteristics, e.g. groundwater level, watercourses, flow of
underground water.
3.15 Effects on coastal or estuarine hydrology.
3.16
Effects of pollutants, waste, etc. on water quality.
Effects on air and climate
