7.6e Overall Impact Evaluation of
Woodland and Active Agriculture (Dry & Wet) Habitats.
Evaluation Criteria |
Woodland |
Active Agriculture (Dry & Wet) |
Habitat quality |
Secondary
Woodland: Moderate. Open
Woodland: Low-moderate. |
Low. |
Species |
Potential direct impact to
Romer’s Tree Frog. Potential indirect impact
to wildlife due to construction phase disturbance. |
No direct impact to species
of conservation interest, although there may be potential indirect impact to
wildlife. |
Size/Abundance |
Direct impact to 0.13ha of
secondary woodland due to PNH River Channel Construction. Direct impact to <0.01ha
of secondary woodland due to Ling Tsui Tau U-Channel Construction. Direct impact to 0.06ha of open
woodland due to TTT River bottleneck widening. |
Direct impact to 0.03ha of
Active Agricultural Land due to TTT River Channel Construction. |
Duration |
Loss of habitat would be
permanent. Indirect impacts such as
noise disturbance would be largely limited to the construction phase. |

Reversibility |
Loss of habitat would be
irreversible. Indirect disturbance impacts
would be temporary and reversible. |
