A professional judgement on landscape sensitivity is made with reference to the following criteria.
• Landscapecharacterphysicalaspects Consideration of landform, land cover, enclosure / openness,
settlement pattern etc.
• Landscapecharacter–aestheticaspects scale, pattern, scenic qualities, sense of place, movement,
tranquillity, remoteness, wildness and complexity of the landscape.
• Landscapevalue Consensus evidence for the value which society, including local
communities, attach to the landscape. Evidence may include local, national or international designation such as National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) or Registered Parks and Gardens of Historic Interest. But might also be non-designated value expressed by local community or special interest groups or professional bodies. Local context may result in an
otherwise unremarkable landscape being valued in relation to its comparative rarity or amenity value in an area which lacks similar landscapes. A landscape may also be valued for its inherent quality for instance as a good or typical example of a particular type of landscape or its distinctiveness. The way a landscape is experienced, by whom and from where it is experienced are factors that may also be taken into account.
• Landscapequalityorcondition Physical condition of the landscape, including the degree
of intactness of its features and composition. Maintenance, degradation damage scope for restoration / enhancement.
• Visualenclosure/opennessofviews Consideration of topography, vegetation and development in
determining the degree to which views are open or constrained. • Scopeformitigationincharacterwiththelandscape • Culturalheritagefactors • Naturalheritagefactors
A landscape known and cherished by very many people from across the UK or internationally.
A landscape known and cherished by many people from across the region or county. Nationally or regionally designated landscapes.
Strong landscape structure, characteristics, patterns, balanced combination of landform and land cover. Strong sense of place. Occasional detracting features. Appropriate management but potential to improve. A valued landscape.
A County landscape site.
Recognisable landscape structure, characteristics, patterns, balanced combination of landform and land cover. Sense of place. Some detracting features. Potential to improve management. An ordinary landscape.
Non-designated landscape of particularly distinctive or exemplar character or with features of some cultural or natural heritage value.
An ordinary landscape valued by the local community / special interest groups.
Locally designated or important open gaps.
Landscape with relatively ordinary characteristics.
Weak landscape structure, characteristics, patterns, balanced combination of landform and land cover.Poor sense of place. Frequent detracting features. Lack of management. A landscape not valued.
A landscape valued by few people with few features of value or interest.
Featureless, spoiled or mundane landscape with few features of value or interest.
National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and World Heritage Sites.
Very strong landscape structure, characteristics, patterns, balanced combination of landform and land cover. Exceptional sense of place. No detracting features. Good management. A highly valued landscape.

Sensitivity of receptor
Degrees of effect Verysubstantial: Large change to a landscape of high sensitivity.
Substantial: Medium-large change to a landscape of medium-high sensitivity, medium change to a landscape of high sensitivity or large change to a landscape of medium sensitivity.
Moderate: Medium change to a landscape of medium sensitivity, large change to a landscape of low sensitivity or small change to a landscape of high sensitivity.
Slight: Medium or small change to a landscape of low sensitivity or small change to a landscape of medium sensitivity.
Negligible: Negligible, small, medium or large change to a landscape of negligible sensitivity or negligible change to a landscape of low, medium or high sensitivity.
Significance If the degree of effect is moderate or above, then the effect is considered to be significant.
In some cases, the judgement of sensitivity or magnitude of change may fall somewhere between two descriptions, for instance a magnitude of change may be considered to be greater than small but less than medium and in these cases it is acceptable to describe these instances as lying between the two, in this instance, small-medium. It is also acceptable to describe effects in the same way, if it is considered that the effect lies between two effect descriptions.

Public views of or from areas of protected landscape such as National Park and AONB
Occupiers of residential properties with views affected by development
Views from rights of way, rural roads and recreational areas where the focus may be on the landscape and tolerance to change is likely to be low
Views from offices, social meeting and learning places where the focus is unlikely to be on the landscape
Views from urban roads and footways, railways, industrial areas and trading parks, where the focus of attention is unlikely to be on the landscape and where tolerance to change is likely to be high
Areas without public or private views
Views from community areas, residential areas or public footpaths are generally considered more important than transient views from roads or views from workplaces, although transient views can include tourist routes that may be important. Views of attractive unspoilt landscapes might be considered more important than views of a rapidly changing area of development. Views that have cultural associations might also be considered to be sensitive. The judgement may also be moderated by reference to one or more of the additional criteria listed below:
• Thenumberofpeopleaffected;
• Theperiodoftimeandfrequencythatreceptorsexperiencetheview;
• Thestatus(resident/visitor),occupations/activityandconsequent expectations of the receptor group and the degree to which that group has a proprietary interest in theviewandistoleranttochange;
• Theconsensualimportanceoftheview;thiscanincludecultural, historical and archaeological associations and tourist/leisure/recreationalassociations;
• Thecontextoftheviewpoint;
• Otherfactorssuchasspecific,regularmeteorologicalconditions at the site or the landscape being in constant change due to the type of use, e.g. mineral storage and movement of aggregate stockpiles.

Distance and layering of hedgerows and tree groups makes site vegetation indistinguishable from other distant features. Recognisible features perceptible but not prominent are the communication tower at Gravel Bridge Road, the church spires at Willingham and Long Stanton. The ridge of high ground west of Cambridge along the A428 forms the distant skyline.
