Table 7.6h Overall Impact Evaluation of Developed Land, Bare Ground & Wasteland Habitats

Evaluation Criteria	Developed Land, Bare Ground & Wasteland
Habitat quality	Very Low.
Species	No direct impact to species of conservation interest, although there may be potential indirect impact to wildlife.
Size/Abundance	Direct impact to 0.18ha of disturbed habitat due to PNH River Channel Construction. Direct impact to 0.18ha of disturbed habitat due to LTT River Channel Construction. Direct impact to <0.01ha of disturbed habitat due to Ling Tsui Tau U-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.
Magnitude	The scale of the impact is considered very low.
Overall impact conclusion	Negligible.
