Table 5.7b Overall Impact Evaluation of Plantation & Parkland & Developed Areas

Evaluation Criteria	Plantation & Parkland	Developed Area
Habitat quality	Low	Very low
Species	Five faunal species (Black Kite, Milvus migrans; Greater Coucal, Centropus sinensis; Japanese Pipistrelle, Pipistrellus abramus; Dog-faced Fruit Bat, Cynopterus sphinx; and Palla’s Squirrel, Callosciurus erythraeus) of conservation importance recorded from this habitat type.	Two faunal species (Pacific Reef Egret, Egretta sacra; Chinese Pond Heron, Ardeola bacchus) of conservation importance recorded from this habitat.
Size/Abundance	Direct impact to approximately 4.8ha of habitat in the Headland and Lowland assessment area.	Direct impact to approximately 12ha of habitat in the Headland and Lowland assessment area.
Duration	Loss of habitat within footprint of proposed development would be irreversible. Indirect construction phase disturbance would be temporary and reversible. Minor increase in disturbance during operational phase will be permanent.	Loss of habitat within footprint of proposed development would be irreversible.
