VISUAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT PARAMETERS Visual exposure (VE) has been assessed using a ranking system as follows: Short range view refers to views from 50m distance or less from the site of the proposed development. Long range view refers to views from more than 50m distance. Several arbitrary positions were chosen during a 360º walking survey.

BASIC VISUAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
1. VISUAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT PARAMETERSVisual exposure (VE) has been assessed using a ranking system as follows:
Short range view refers to views from 50m distance or less from the site of the proposed
development. Long range view refers to views from more than 50m distance. Several
arbitrary positions were chosen during a 360º walking survey. It will be noticed that more
viewpoints were selected for the sky bridge than the arrival square because of its
vertical scale, at 6.2m height above the ground. The varying degrees of visual exposure
are measured on a negative scale of
High – high impact,
Medium - medium impact,
Low – low impact, and
0 – no impact, i.e. alterations and introduced structures are not visible from a given
position.
VE means Visual Exposure.
