Size/Abundance	No direct impact to fishpond habitats.	Direct impact to 0.03ha of tree/orchard habitat due to LTT River Channel Construction.
Duration	Indirect impacts such as noise disturbance would be largely limited to the construction phase.	Loss of habitat would be permanent. Indirect impacts such as noise disturbance would be largely limited to the construction phase.
