OM2

Bio-engineering techniques shall be implemented to the cut slopes (approx. area 0.1Ha).

OM3

OM4

Woodland tree and shrub planting shall be undertaken at cut slopes so as to compensate for vegetation lost during construction.  Any affected slope areas shall be hydroseeded and planted with woodland species, avoid shotcreting (approx. area 0.1Ha).

OM5

Native shrub planting shall be undertaken to screen the proposed works and blend it into the landscape (approx. area 3.4Ha).

OM6

Planting shall be incorporated where possible to screen the road and bridge in low level views from adjacent areas, and to tone down the extent of hard paving and surfaces and reduce the amount of glare (approx. area 0.2Ha).

OM7

Sensitive architectural design of engineering and other built structures, including form and finishes, this will include but not limited to: paved surfaces, retaining walls, walls, columns, buildings, and other structures, light standards, etc, shall be used.
