9 Landscape & Visual Impact

9.1 Introduction

9.1.1.1 This chapter presents the potential landscape and visual impacts due to the construction and operation of Trunk Road T2 (hereinafter referred to as “the Project”) in accordance with the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO). The focus of the Landscape Impact Assessment (LIA) as stated within the April 2009 EIA Study Brief ESB-203/2009 shall include areas within 100 metres from the boundary of the project and proposed off-site work sites. The focus of the Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) is defined by the three visual envelopes of the project.

9.1.1.2 Since the 31 July 2009 date for commencement, the original proposals and locations for the project, and the location of the Trunk Road T2 Eastern Ventilation Building have been relocated to the Lam Tin Interchange. The Trunk Road T2 Eastern Ventilation Building is outside the scope of this study and has been addressed by a separate consultancy. For information regarding the Trunk Road T2 Eastern Ventilation Building within Lam Tin Interchange, please refer to Section 9 Appendix A for the relevant extracted text and supporting figures from AECOM’s October 2012, Agreement No. CE 42/2008 Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel and Associated Works – Investigation Report (TKO-LTT), which includes an in-depth section within their LVIA and supporting photomontages for the Trunk Road T2 Eastern Ventilation Building, located within the Lam Tin Interchange. Please note the TKO-LTT EIA is awaiting approval.

9.1.1.3 Trunk Road T2 and associated buildings will be commissioned by the end of 2020 in coordination with both the CKR and TKO-LTT Route 6 projects. According to the approved March 2009 KTD EIA Report and the KTD Recommended Outline Development Plan, the Kai Tak development is proposed to be commissioned by the end of 2020.

9.1.1.4 This LVIA will focus on both the Cha Kwo Ling Eastern Works Area and the KTD South Apron Western Works Area in the construction phase and the Trunk Road T2 Western Ventilation and Tunnel Portal Buildings in the operation phase. All future developments planned within the Kai Tak Development (or any planned developments as appropriate) do not form part of the Project and are not intended for approval under this EIA Submission but are discussed in the section on Cumulative Landscape & Visual Impacts.

9.1.1.5 The scale of the Project will inevitably cause landscape and visual impacts, on both existing and future landscape resources and characteristics as well as visually sensitive receivers (VSRs). Key issues on landscape and visual impacts during construction and operation stages are identified and assessed. The scale and extent of the Project site is likely to alter the visual context of some VSRs in Kowloon Bay, Kowloon City and Kwun Tong.

9.1.1.6 Given that all underground activities and facilities will unlikely cause landscape and visual impacts, this report assesses potential landscape and visual impacts associated with surface construction activities, excavation, storage and above-ground structures (Tunnel Portal Building & Ventilation Building).

9.1.1.7 The LVIA follows the criteria and guidelines in Annexes 10 and 18 of the EIAO TM. Photographs showing baseline conditions, and photomontages and illustrative materials supporting conclusions are provided and the locations of key viewpoints are mapped. Photomontages provide comparisons between existing views, proposals on day 1 after completion without mitigation measures, on day 1 after completion with mitigation measures, and in year 10 after completion with mitigation measures in accordance with EIAO Guidance Note No. 8/2010.

9.3 Assessment Methodology

9.3.1 General Methodology

9.3.1.1 Landscape and visual impacts have been assessed separately for the construction and operation phases.

9.3.1.2 The methodology will comply with the requirements of Annexes 10 and 18 of the EIAO TM, the EIA Study Brief ESB-203/2009 (issued in April 2009) and the EIAO Guidance Note No. 8/2010. The methodology consists of the following procedures:

· Review of the planning and development control framework;

· Landscape impact assessment;

· Visual impact assessment;

· Recommendation on landscape and visual mitigation measures;

· Identification of residual impacts; and

· Predication of acceptability of impacts.

9.3.2 Review of the Planning and Development Control Framework

9.3.2.1 A review of the existing planning studies and documents for the Project is carried out to understand the planned role of the site and help determine if the Project fits into the wider landscape context.

9.3.2.2 The review will consider all areas zoned on the Outline Development Plans, Outline Zoning Plans, Layout Plans, and Recommended Outline Development Plan for Kai Tak Development which are physically affected by the Project including the area within the project boundary and temporary construction or works areas. The review considers the following aspects of planning designations:

· Loss of zoning areas due to the implementation of the Project;

· Degradation zoning areas which might affect the viability of its landscape planning designation;

· The visual amenity enjoyed by future residents or users; and

· The compatibility of the Project with this future landscape.

9.3.3 Landscape Impact Assessment

9.3.3.1 The assessment of landscape impacts involves:

· Baseline landscape review;

· Assessment of the degree of sensitivity of the landscape resources and landscape character areas;

· Identification of potential sources of landscape impacts;

· Assessment of the magnitude of landscape impacts before and after mitigation measures: and

· Prediction of significance of landscape impacts.

9.3.4 Baseline Landscape Review

9.3.4.1 A baseline landscape review is achieved by site visits and desktop study of topographical maps, information databases and photographs to identify the baseline landscape resources (LRs) and landscape character areas (LCAs) within the study area. Landscape resources include vegetation, patterns of settlement, land use and water bodies.

9.3.5 Assessment of the Degree of Sensitivity of the Landscape Resources and Landscape Character area

9.3.5.1 Sensitivity of LCAs and LRs identified in the baseline landscape review is assessed by the following factors:

· Quality and maturity;

· Importance or rarity;

· Ability to accommodate change;

· Significance of the change in local and regional context;

· Overall size within the study area; and

· Whether there are any statutory or regulatory limitations / requirements relating to the LCAs and LRs.

9.3.5.2 Sensitivity of each LCA and LR is classified as follows:

High: Important landscape resources or landscape with particularly distinctive character or high importance, sensitive to small changes.

Medium: Moderately important landscape resources or landscape with moderately valued landscape characteristics reasonably tolerant to changes.

Low: Landscape resources of low value or relatively unimportant landscape characteristics highly tolerant to changes.

9.3.6 Identification of Potential Sources of Landscape Impacts

9.3.6.1 These are various elements of construction and operational works which generate landscape impacts. Such impacts are described, measured and illustrated in this report.

9.3.7 Assessment of the Magnitude of Landscape Impacts

9.3.7.1 The magnitude of the impact or magnitude of change depends on a number of factors including:

· Scale of Project;

· Location of Project;

· Compatibility of Project with the surrounding landscape;

· Duration of impacts under construction and operation phases;

· The relative size of the change in comparison to the size of the LCAs and LRs; and

· Reversibility of change (changes are residual or not residual after mitigation).

9.3.7.2 The magnitude of landscape impacts is classified as follows:

Large: The LCA or LR would experience major change.

Intermediate: The LCA or LR would experience moderate change.

Small: The LCA or LR would experience slight or barely perceptible changes.

Negligible: The LCA or LR would experience no discernible change.

9.3.8 Prediction of Significance of Landscape Impacts

9.3.8.1 The degree of significance of landscape impact is derived from the magnitude of change which the Project will cause to the existing LRs & LCAs and ability to tolerate the change, i.e. their sensitivity. The landscape impacts during construction and operation are assessed by combining the sensitivity and the magnitude of change for LRs and LCAs according to Table 9.1. Any such impacts are further defined as beneficial or adverse.

Table 9.1 Matrix for Impact Significance Threshold

Magnitude of Change caused by the Project	Large	Moderate	Moderate / Substantial	Substantial
	Intermediate	Slight / Moderate	Moderate	Moderate / Substantial
	Small	Slight	Slight / Moderate	Moderate
	Negligible	Insubstantial	Insubstantial	Insubstantial
		Low	Medium	High
	Sensitivity (LCAs, LRs or VSRs)

9.3.8.2 The Degree of Impact Significance Threshold is divided into four thresholds:

Substantial: Adverse / beneficial impact where the proposal would cause significant deterioration or improvement in existing landscape.

Moderate: Adverse / beneficial impact where the proposal would cause noticeable deterioration or improvement in existing landscape.

Slight: Adverse / beneficial impact where the proposal would cause slight or barely perceptible deterioration or improvement in existing landscape.

Insubstantial: No discernible change in the existing landscape.

9.3.9 Visual Impact Assessment

9.3.9.1 The assessment of visual impacts has involved the followings procedures:

· Identification of Zone of Visual Influence (ZVIs);

· Identification of Visually Sensitive Receivers (VSRs) within the ZVIs;

· Identification of relative numbers of VSRs;

· Assessments of the degree of sensitivity of the VSRs;

· Identification of potential sources of visual impacts;

· Assessment of the magnitude of visual impacts; and

· Predication of significance of visual impacts.

9.3.10 Identification of Zone of Visual Influence (ZVI)

9.3.10.1 This is achieved by site visits and desktop study of topographic maps and photographs, and preparation of cross-section to determine visibility of the Project from various locations. The ZVI for both construction and operational phases of the Project are identified.

9.3.11 Identification of Visually Sensitive Receivers (VSRs) within the ZVI

9.3.11.1 These are the people who would reside within, work within, play within, or travel through, the ZVI.

9.3.12 Identification of relative numbers of VSRs

9.3.12.1 The relative number of VSRs is expressed in terms of whether there are few, medium or many.

9.3.13 Assessments of the Degree of Sensitivity of the VSRs

9.3.13.1 The individual VSRs identified are assessed by the following factors that influence sensitivity:

· The type of VSRs, which is classified as Residential User, Occupational User, Recreational User or Travelling User according to whether the person is at home, at work, at school, at play, or travelling;

· Estimated number of receiver population;

· Value and quality of existing views;

· Availability and amenity of alternative views;

· Duration or frequency of view; and

· Degree of visibility.

9.3.13.2 The ratings for sensitivity of the VSRs are classified below:

High: The VSR is highly sensitive to any change in their viewing experience.

Medium: The VSR is moderately sensitive to any change in their viewing experience.

Low: The VSR is slightly sensitive to any change in their viewing experience.

9.3.14 Identification of Potential Sources of Visual Impacts

9.3.14.1 These are the various elements of the construction works and physical aboveground structures of the Project that would generate visual impacts.

9.3.15 Assessment of Magnitude of Visual Impacts

9.3.15.1 Factors for considering the Potential Magnitude of Visual Impacts include:

· Compatibility with the landscape and character of the surroundings;

· Duration of impacts;

· Scale of the project;

· Reversibility of the change (changes are residual or not residual after mitigation);

· Viewing distance; and

· Potential blockage of views.

9.3.15.2 The rating for Magnitude of Change of the view of VSRs is classified as below:

Large: The VSR would suffer major change in their viewing experience.

Intermediate: The VSR would suffer moderate change in their viewing experience.

Small: The VSR would suffer slight or barely perceptible changes.

Negligible: The VSR would suffer no discernible change.

9.3.16 Predication of Significance of Visual Impacts

9.3.16.1 The significance threshold for visual impacts is rated in a similar fashion to the landscape impact, i.e. significant, moderate, slight and negligible. The visual impact during construction and operation is assessed by combining the sensitivity of change and the magnitude of change of various VSRs according to Table 9.1. The impacts may be beneficial or adverse.

9.3.16.2 The Degree of the Impact Significance is divided into four thresholds:

Substantial: Adverse / beneficial impact where the proposal would cause significant deterioration or improvement in existing visual quality.

Moderate: Adverse / beneficial impact where the proposal would cause noticeable deterioration or improvement in existing visual quality.

Slight: Adverse / beneficial impact where the proposal would cause slight or barely perceptible deterioration or improvement in existing visual quality.

Insubstantial: No discernible change in the existing visual quality.

9.3.17 Recommendation on Landscape and Visual Mitigation Measures

9.3.17.1 The identification of the landscape and visual impacts will highlight those sources of conflict requiring design solutions or modifications to reduce the impacts, and, if possible, blend the development and associated activities with the surrounding landscape. Mitigation measures have considered factors including:

· Adopting alternative design or revisions to the basic engineering or architectural design to prevent and / or minimize adverse impacts;

· Mitigation measures such as colour, architectural and landscape treatment of physical, engineering and building features;

· Compensatory measures such as the implementation of landscape design measures such as creation of new amenity area to compensate for unavoidable adverse impacts and to attempt to generate potentially beneficial long-term impacts;

· Compensatory tree planting to compensate for felled trees; and

· Additional tree planting to screen the Trunk Road T2 and associated structures.

9.3.17.2 The mitigation measures will be included in the detail design, construction and operation phases of the Project and associated works to reduce impacts to acceptable levels. Responsible parties will be identified for the on-going management and maintenance of the proposed mitigation measures to ensure their effectiveness throughout the operation phase of the Project and associated works. The Funding Agency and Implementation Agency for the implementation of the recommended mitigation measures are presented in Tables 9.20 and 9.21. This will follow ETWB TCW No.2/2004 Maintenance of Vegetation and Hard Landscape Features, and ETWB TCW No.3/2006 - Tree Preservation.

9.3.18 Identification of Residual Impacts

9.3.18.1 Residual impacts are those which remain after the proposed mitigation measures have been implemented. These are assessed both during the construction and operation periods, which are taken to be day 1 and 10 years after the Project has been operational.

9.3.18.2 During the operational period the soft landscape mitigation measures will reach a level of maturity that allows them to perform their original design objectives. The residual impacts in this instance will reduce over time as the vegetation becomes established and mature.

9.3.18.3 The significance threshold of residual impacts is derived from the matrices described separately above for the landscape and visual impacts. Both landscape and visual residual impacts are products of magnitude of change and sensitivity of the receiver.

9.3.19 Predication of Acceptability of Impacts

9.3.19.1 The acceptability of the Project is dependent upon the significance of the residual impacts in accordance with the five criteria set out in Annex 10 of the Technical Memorandum of the Environmental Impact Assessment Process (EIAO-TM). The criteria are summarized below:

· Beneficial. The project will complement the landscape and visual character of its setting, will follow the relevant planning objectives and will improve the landscape and visual quality of the study area;

· Acceptable. The assessment indicates that there will be no significant effects on the landscape, no significant visual effects caused by the appearance of the project, or no interference with key views;

· Acceptable With Mitigation Measures. There will be some adverse effects; these can be eliminated, reduced or offset to a large extent by specific measures;

· Unacceptable. The adverse effects are considered too excessive and are unable to be mitigated practically; and

· Undetermined. Significant adverse effects are likely, but the extent to which they may occur or may be mitigated cannot be determined from the study. Further detailed study will be required for the specific effects in question.

9.4 Scope and Content of the Study

9.4.1 Description of the Project

9.4.1.1 The nature, scope and implementation programme of the Project is described in Section 2 & 3 of this Report. In accordance with the Study Brief, this study will assess the landscape and visual impacts during the construction and operation phases of the Project.

9.4.1.2 Background: The Kai Tak (North) Outline Zoning Plan (OZP) and Kai Tak (South) OZP were gazetted in 1998 providing the statutory planning framework for the area. Following subsequent reviews and consultation processes, the OZP for the entire Kai Tak area was gazetted and subsequently amended under the Town Planning Ordinance between 2006 and 2012. It is noted that the land use proposals for Kai Tak would be refined in later stages. This report also reflects the best available information from the latest Kai Tak OZP and CEDD’s draft Recommended Outline Development Plan (RODP) for Kai Tak Development at the time of preparing the report.

9.4.1.3 As a part of the strategic road network within the South East Kowloon Development, Route 6 forms an east west express link between West Kowloon and Tseung Kwan O. Route 6 comprises the Central Kowloon Route (CKR), Trunk Road T2 and Tseung Kwan O – Lam Tin Tunnel (TKO-LTT).

9.4.2 Consideration of Alternatives and Development of a Preferred Option

9.4.2.1 Details of the comparison of various development options and how the preferred option is formulated and translated are summarized in Section 2 of this report.

9.4.3 Scope and Content of the Study

9.4.3.1 The Project boundary covers the Kowloon Bay, Former Kai Tak South Apron, Kwun Tong and Cha Kwo Ling as shown in Figures 9.1 and 9.2.

9.4.3.2 According to EIA Study Brief No. ESB-203/2009, the study area for the landscape impact assessment shall include all areas within 100m extended from the Project boundary and the proposed off-site work sites. The assessment area for the visual impact assessment shall be defined by the visual envelope of the Project (ZVI). The study area for the landscape impact assessment and ZVI are indicated in Figures 9.1 and 9.2.

9.5 Review of Planning and Development Control Framework

9.5.1 Review of Outline Development Plan and Outline Zoning Plans

9.5.1.1 The proposed Trunk Road T2 has been planned within limited land take and where possible is in tunnel. A review of the existing and planned development framework for the proposed works and for the surroundings is undertaken. It identifies issues for neighbouring planned land uses, identifying potential resources and sensitive receivers, and ensuring a high compatibility between the Project and the surroundings.

9.5.1.2 The study area is covered by:

· Draft Ngau Tau Kok and Kowloon Bay Outline Zoning Plan No. S/K13/27 gazetted on 14/10/2011;

· Approved Kwun Tong (South) Outline Zoning Plan No. S/K14S/18 gazetted on 14/6/2013;

· Approved Cha Kwo Ling, Yau Tong, Lei Yue Mun Outline Zoning Plan No. S/K15/19 gazetted on 17/06/2011;

· Approved Kai Tak Outline Zoning Plan No. S/K22/4 gazetted on 14/09/2012; and

· Recommended Outline Development Plan (RODP) for Kai Tak Development (KTD).

9.5.1.3 The review of ODPs and OZPs has not only included a review of the plans, but also the “Notes” and “Explanatory Statements” which accompany, and form part of these plans.

9.5.1.4 The proposed alignment of the at-grade section of Trunk Road T2 at the south apron is located within the planned road corridor of the approved Kai Tak OZP as shown in Figures 9.5 and 9.5.1 to 9.5.8. However, some of the proposed works will cause a minor change of current land use in the area. The change comprises:

9.5.1.5 The proposed Ventilation Building at Kai Fuk Road located within areas zoned “Other Specific Uses (Tunnel Ventilation Shaft)” (“OU”) as shown in Figure 9.1. Since this zone is already reserved for tunnel ventilation shaft use, it is not considered to have potential conflicts with the planning intention of this OZP.

9.5.1.6 On completion of the approved design of the Trunk Road T2 and associated buildings, it is recommended that the OZP shall be amended to incorporate the changes arising from the Project.

9.5.1.7 Apart from the change in land use mentioned above, there will not be any impacts on guidelines on landscape strategies, landscape frameworks, urban design concept, building height profiles, special design areas, landmarks, designated view corridors, open space networks and landscape links of the area except for the RODP for KTD. Ongoing liaison between the proponent of this Project and KTD regarding the proposed zoning and road alignment will be carried out throughout the design development process to ensure the Project is compatible with the future context of the area.

9.5.1.8 As a whole, it is considered that the Project would be in accordance with the planning intentions for the study areas, as set out in the OZPs and other planned development framework.

9.7 Landscape Impact Assessment

9.7.1 Potential Sources of Impacts

9.7.1.1 The nature and scope of works are described in detail in Section 3. Sources of impacts of Trunk Road T2 during the construction phase would include:

9.7.2 Construction Works (Direct Impacts)

· Construction of a dual two-lane trunk road approximately 0.3km long at grade section and about 2.7 km in the form of a tunnel and Tunnel Portal building;

· Construction of Ventilation building, administration buildings and a traffic control and surveillance system; and

· Construction of associated civil, electrical, mechanical, landscape and environmental protection and mitigation works.

9.7.3 Construction Site Operation (Indirect Impacts)

· Stockpiling of excavated and building materials and storage of construction equipment;

· Minor demolition of existing facilities;

· Temporary noise mitigation measures (e.g. barriers and enclosures);

· Contractor’s temporary works areas, including site offices temporary barging point, haulage between T2 sites, and parking areas.

9.7.4 Sources of Impacts in the Operation Phase

· Dual two-lane trunk road of approximately 0.3km long at grade and 2.7km in the form of a tunnel;

· The completed ventilation and administration buildings; and

· The completed associated civil, electrical, mechanical, landscape and environmental protection and mitigation works.

9.7.5 Impact on Existing Trees

9.7.5.1 Within the 100m works boundary area, there are an approximately 605 trees.

9.7.5.2 128 trees are recorded within Trunk Road T2 area and 10m offset buffer zone from the works limit. No registered Old and Valuable Tree, protected or endangered species are recorded. 30 trees will be protected from the impact of the proposed T2 development, 31 trees are recommended for transplantation, and 67 trees unsuitable for transplanting are recommended for felling. In total 152 new trees of minimum 75mm DBH are proposed to compensate the loss of trees in T2 area. Refer to Figures 9.10.1 and 9.10.2.

9.7.5.3 Compensatory tree planting will be incorporated along all roadside amenity areas affected by the construction works. The required numbers and locations of compensatory trees shall be determined and agreed with the Government during the Tree Removal Application under ETWB TCW No. 3/2006.

Table 9.8 Summary of Proposed Treatment of Trees (Trunk Road T2 Works Area)

Proposed Treatment	Quantity
Total tree quantity	128
Retain	30

Accumulated loss of DBH(m)	113.865	0.135	114

9.7.6 Impact on Existing Passive Amenity Areas

9.7.6.1 The only area affected by construction of the Trunk Road T2 and associated buildings is the amenity area next to Kwun Tong By-pass.

9.7.7 Degree of Compatibility of the Project and Associated Works

9.7.7.1 The Trunk Road T2, ventilation and tunnel portal buildings are scheduled to be commissioned in 2020 and operational by 2021 within the Kai Tak South Apron Development. Currently the land is mainly derelict with areas allocated for temporary storage and on-going infrastructure projects. The proposed construction within the Kai Tak Development covers 3 main areas: The North Apron, South Apron and Runway Precinct. As per the KTD RODP, Trunk Road T2 will be operational at approximately the same time as the surrounding South Apron. The KTD agency has provided a landscape masterplan document for future Kai Tak Development to adhere to. As the area is intended to have a cohesive design approach, Trunk Road T2 and associated works will be designed in harmony with the surrounding context.

9.7.7.2 With the completion of Trunk Road T2 and associated works, the area of T2 will be reinstated into a Kai Tak South: Amenity Area, with provision of street trees, shrubs and ground cover planting. A green design approach is provided for the ventilation building, tunnel portal and refuge collection buildings, including green walls and stepped planted berms, which will minimise the visual impact and blend the development into the design of the proposed surrounding landscape.

9.7.7.3 Tables 9.10 and 9.11 present the impacts on landscape resources and character areas respectively. Magnitude of change is considered to be small to negligible at the operation phase.

9.7.8 Nature and Magnitude of Unmitigated Landscape Impacts in Construction and Operation Phases

9.7.8.1 The magnitude of impacts, before mitigation measures, on LRs and LCA’s in the construction and operation phases are described below and tabulated in Tables 9.10 to 9.11.

9.10 Environmental Monitoring & Audit Requirement

9.10.1 Construction Phase

9.10.1.1 It is recommended that professionally qualified (i.e. LARB) Resident Site Landscape Staff (SRLA/RLA) supervise and monitor the construction phase landscape and visual mitigation measures. This is necessary, to ensure that topsoil is saved, to ensure that existing trees earmarked for retention on site or transplanting are protected and to monitor advance screen planting works, including procurement of plants, and the effectiveness of temporary screen hoardings. Regular site inspections should be undertaken to closely monitor all these aspects of the work.

9.10.2 Operation Phase

9.10.2.1 During the operation phase, landscape and visual mitigation measures should be monitored by the Environmental Team and Independent Environmental Checker – during the first 10 years to check that the intended mitigation effects are realised. Regular monitoring should be undertaken to ensure that the landscape and visual mitigation measures have been implemented, are effective and are being managed and maintained. The compensatory tree planting required to offset the loss of existing trees should be checked, and the additional planting works for screening and amenity purposes. Planting must be established and sustainable and provide long term landscape and visual mitigation. Hardworks elements that have been provided as part of the new works or as the reinstatement of impacted works should also be monitored and checked that they are being maintained and are achieving their mitigation function.

9.11 Residual Impacts

9.11.1 Illustrations of Residual Impacts

9.11.1.1 Figures 9.17.1 to 9.17.4 provide photomontages of Trunk Road T2 and associated buildings and adjacent developments, showing the outline massing of the proposed developments, as per the KTD Recommended Outline Development Plan.

9.11.1.2 Landscape and visual impacts, at both construction and operation phases, which remain after all mitigation measures have been assessed, are provided in Tables 9.22 to 9.25.

9.11.2 Illustrations of Residual Visual Impacts (Refer to Figures 9.17 and 9.17.1 to 9.17.4)

9.11.2.1 In reviewing the location and context of the T2 Project in both the construction and operation phases, it is considered that on completion the only above ground structures that may impact the immediate and surrounding areas are within the Western Works Area. The views from Hung Hum, To Kwa Wan, Kwun Tong and Cha Kwo Ling would be significantly screened by the proposed KTD Runway Precinct and South Apron Development. As the maximum proposed height of the Ventilation and Tunnel Portal building is +17m PD, the following views were proposed to show context and detail of the T2 Works Area and associated buildings:

9.11.2.2 Figure 9.17.1: Viewpoint No 1. - 16th Floor of Mega Box. Mega Box is part of the Enterprise Square V complex. Upper floors of these buildings have a direct view onto the site from the Kowloon Bay Commercial Area. The views looking onto the Western Works Area and the proposed T2 Buildings are partially screened by Kowloon Bay/Kwun Tong By-Pass on lower floors of the buildings. The photomontages show the existing and proposed operational phase in scale and context, both with and without mitigation measures as per the latest Recommended Outline Development Plan (RODP) for Kai Tak Development. With the proposed mitigation measures and greening initiatives, the T2 Ventilation and Tunnel Portal Buildings complement the proposed KTD considering the current existing conditions.

9.11.2.3 Figure 9.17.2: Viewpoint No 2. – Trunk Road T2 & Road 18. The photomontages are based upon a pedestrian view at ground level and show the Tunnel Portal and the descending T2 Road. On Day 1, the view shows the Tunnel Portal and Ventilation Buildings with vertical greening and planting. The trees are planted at semi mature size to help screen the buildings on Day 1. Within 10 years, the trees will soften and mask the top and sides of the tunnel portal from views at both pedestrian level and from the surrounding buildings.

9.11.2.4 Figure 9.17.3: Viewpoint No 3. – Trunk Road T2, refuse collection building & Road D4. The photomontages are based on a pedestrian view at ground level to provide a scale perspective of the Refuse Collection & Ventilation Building, both in size and context with the existing Kwun Tong By-pass, Kowloon Bay Commercial Area and the proposed KTD: South Apron Developments. It is anticipated that the refuse collection building will have vertical greening and planting. The greening measures will soften the hard concrete structure, and blend into the context of the regenerated surrounding area. Trees are planted on either side of the building so that their canopies, within 10 years, will help to screen the structures from surrounding roads and buildings.

9.11.2.5 Figure 9.17.4: Viewpoint No 4. – Top Floor Proposed Residential Block at R3 Runway Precinct Housing Development. The photomontages are based on a resident’s view within the Runway Precinct Housing Development. The photomontages illustrate the size and scale of the Tunnel Portal and refuse collection buildings against the back drop of the Kwun Tong By-pass with proposed mitigation measures. The refuse collection building on Day 1 fits in with the proposed soft landscape. In 10 years the building is screened by trees along the D6 bridge, and merges into the back drop of the trees along the edge of the Kwun Tong By-pass.

9.11.3 Concurrent Projects

9.11.3.1 Trunk Road T2 is to be constructed in conjunction with two other Route 6 Projects; the CKR in the western South Apron area and the Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel Interchange at the eastern end, forming a major transportation route within the Kowloon Peninsula. The Kai Tak South Apron Development has a series of residential, commercial and government buildings proposed adjacent to the Trunk Road T2, Ventilation & Tunnel Portal Buildings. The various developments are scheduled to be completed and operational by 2021.

9.11.3.2 As per the KTD Recommended Outline Development Plan the North Apron and Runway precinct areas will also be constructed and operational by 2021.

9.11.4 Assessment of the Significance of Residual Landscape Impacts

9.11.4.1 On completion of the Project, at the eastern end of Trunk Road T2 and associated works, within Cha Kwo Ling Road area, the residual landscape impacts are considered to be insubstantial.

9.11.4.2 On Day 1 of completion of the Project, at the western end of Trunk Road T2 and associated buildings, the residual landscape impacts are considered slight to insubstantial as the project will adhere to the mitigation measures shown in Tables 9.22 and 9.23, and illustrated in Figure 9.11.2 and Figures 9.12.1 to 9.12.4. At Year 10 the impacts are slight to insubstantial, though are considered beneficial to the Project.

9.11.4.3 Residual landscape impacts on Landscape Resources & Landscape Character Areas at Day 1 and Year10 are summarised in Tables 9.22 and 9.23 respectively. Impacts on Landscape Resources by the Project are described as follows:

· LR6 – Amenity Area (Kai Fuk Road / Kwun Tong By-pass): An amenity area including sitting out areas along a footpath and a planting area of 3,620 square metres will be lost by the construction of the Ventilation Building and Western Works Area. On completion of the Project a planting area of 1,250 square metres will be lost due to Trunk Road T2 and Ventilation Building. This will be compensated by a planting area to the immediate east of approximately 4,900 square metres (refer to Figure 9.11.2). Within the Western Works Area, 18 trees will be retained and protected, 21 trees will be transplanted and 42 trees unsuitable for transplanting will be felled. 63 trees will be provided as compensation in accordance with ETWB TCW No. 3/2006 (refer to Figure 9.11.2).

· LR8 – Derelict / Disturbed Land (KTD South Apron): An area of derelict / disturbed land measuring 75,300 square metres and a planting area of 159 square metres will be lost due to the Western Works Area. On completion of the Project, an area of 8,500 square meters will be permanently lost to the Trunk Road T2, Ventilation and Tunnel Portal Buildings. This will be compensated by a planting area of approximately 15,740 square metres. 12 trees will be protected from impact by the Project, 10 trees are recommended for transplanting, and 24 trees which are not suitable for transplanting will be felled. 89 trees will be provided as compensation in accordance with ETWB TCW No. 3/2006 (refer to Figure 9.11.2).

· LR12 – Water Body (Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter): A temporary barging point will be located at the south eastern corner of the South Apron LR8 during the construction phase only. The barging point will not damage any parts of the seabed and is situated on the existing seawall. Residual impacts will be the operation of barges between 07.00 & 19.00 in the construction phase only. The sea wall will be reinstated following completion of the Project.

· LR16 – Derelict / Disturbed Land Proposed as Cha Kwo Ling Promenade Park by Others (Cha Kwo Ling Former Public Cargo Working Area): An approximate area of 21,500 square metres of hard standing will be lost for the Eastern Works Area site offices. One tree, Macaranga tanarius, which is not considered suitable for transplanting is recommended to be felled. Mitigation for the felled tree has been included within the compensatory trees for the Western Works Area in accordance with ETWB TCW No. 3/2006 (refer to Figure 9.11.2). The site will be reinstated and handed over for future development of Cha Kwo Ling Promenade Park under a separate project.

9.11.4.4 Impacts on Landscape Character Areas affected by the Project are described as follows:

· LCA1 – Major On-Going Development Landscape: An area of derelict / disturbed land measuring an area of 75,300 square metres and a planting area of 159 square metres will be lost to the Western Works Area. On completion of the Project an area of 8,500 square meters will be lost to the Trunk Road T2, Ventilation and Tunnel Portal Buildings. A planting area of 15,740 square metres will be provided to compensate the loss of this area. 12 trees will be protected from the impact of the proposed T2 development, 10 trees are recommended for transplanting, and 24 trees which are not suitable for transplanting will be felled. 89 trees will be provided as compensation in accordance with ETWB TCW No. 3/2006 (refer to Figure 9.11.2).

· LCA3 – Transport Corridor: An approximate planting area of 3,620 square metres will be lost as a result of the Western Works Area. On completion of the Project a planting area of 1,250 square metres will be lost by the Western Ventilation Building. This will be compensated by approximately 4,900 square metres of amenity area as referred to in the report as RE10 Kai Tak South Apron: Amenity Area. Within the works area, 18 trees will be retained and protected, 21 trees are recommended for transplanting and 42 trees which are not suitable for transplanting will be felled. 63 trees will be provided as compensation in accordance with ETWB TCW No. 3/2006 (refer to Figure 9.11.2).

· LCA4 – Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter Landscape: A temporary barging will be located at the south eastern corner of the South Apron (LCA1) within the construction phase. For mitigation measures please refer to LR12 above.

· LCA7 – Cha Kwo Ling Reclaimed Industrial Urban Landscape: Within the Eastern Works Area, no planting areas will be lost as the site is currently hard standing. An approximate area of 21,500 square metres of hard standing will be lost for the Eastern Works Area site offices. One tree, a Macaranga tanarius which is not considered suitable for transplanting is recommended to be felled. Mitigation for the felled tree has been included within the compensatory trees for the Western Works Area in accordance with ETWB TCW No. 3/2006 (refer to Figure 9.11.2). The site will be reinstated and handed over for future development of Cha Kwo Ling Promenade Park under a separate project.

9.11.6 Summary of Residual Impacts on Landscape Resources and Landscape Character Areas

9.11.6.1 Residual Impacts on Landscape Resources and Landscape Character Areas are described in Tables 9.22 and 9.23 respectively. 

9.11.6.2 LR6, amenity area, will experience moderate adverse residual impacts during the construction phase, due to the felling of trees and loss of amenity area to accommodate the Western Works Area and Ventilation Building.  Within the operation phase, impacts are slight and are considered beneficial, due to compensatory roadside tree and shrub planting and construction of approximately 4,900 square metres of amenity area as referred to in the report as RE10 Kai Tak South Apron: Amenity Area (refer to Figure 9.11.2). In addition, there will be comprehensive greening to roofs and associated structures of the Tunnel Portal and Ventilation Buildings which help blend the Project into the surrounding landscape (refer to Figures 9.12.1 to 9.12.4). By Year 10 of operation, residual landscape impacts are considered slight and beneficial in nature.

9.11.6.3 LR8, derelict / disturbed land, will experience moderate adverse residual impacts during the construction phase, due to the loss of hard standing to accommodate the Western Works Area. Within the operation phase, impacts are slight and are considered beneficial, due to compensation by approximately 4,900 square metres of amenity area as referred to in the report as RE10 Kai Tak South Apron: Amenity Area (refer to Figure 9.11.2). By Year 10 of operation, residual landscape impacts are considered slight and beneficial in nature.

9.11.6.4 LR12, water body, will experience slight adverse residual impacts during the construction phase, due to the barges carrying materials to and from a temporary barging point located on the sea wall. Within the operation phase the barging point will be removed and impacts on Day 1 and Year 10 are considered insubstantial.

9.11.6.5 LR16, derelict / disturbed land in the Eastern Works Area, will experience slight adverse residual impacts during the construction phase, due to loss of one tree, a Macaranga tanarius, and hard standing to accommodate the Eastern Works Area. The tree will be mitigated by trees, shrubs and amenity space created in the Western Works Area by the Project (refer to Figure 9.11.2). Within the operation phase the impacts on Day 1 and Year 10 are considered insubstantial. The site will be reinstated and handed over for future development of Cha Kwo Ling Promenade Park under a separate project.

9.11.7 Impacts on Landscape Character Areas

9.11.7.1 LCA1, derelict / disturbed land, will experience moderate adverse residual impacts during the construction phase, due to the loss of hard standing to accommodate the Western Works Area. Within the operation phase, impacts are slight and are considered beneficial, due to compensatory roadside tree and shrub planting and compensation by approximately 4,900 square metres of amenity area as referred to in the report as RE10 Kai Tak South Apron: Amenity Area (refer to Figure 9.11.2). By Year 10 of operation, residual landscape impacts are considered slight and beneficial in nature.

LCA3, amenity area, will experience moderate adverse residual impacts during the construction phase, due to the felling of trees and loss of amenity area to accommodate the Western Works Area and Ventilation Building. Within the operation phase, impacts are slight and are considered beneficial, due to compensatory roadside tree and shrub planting and construction of approximately 4,900 square metres of amenity area as referred to in the report as RE10 Kai Tak South Apron: Amenity Area (refer to Figure 9.11.2). In addition, there will be comprehensive greening to roofs and associated structures of the Tunnel Portal and Ventilation Building which help blend the Project into the surrounding landscape (refer to Figures 9.12.1 to 9.12.4). By Year 10 of operation, residual landscape impacts are considered slight and beneficial in nature.

9.11.7.2 LCA4, water body, will experience slight adverse residual impacts during the construction phase, due to the barges carrying materials to and from a temporary barging point located on the sea wall. Within the operation phase the barging point will be removed and impacts on Day 1 and Year 10 are considered insubstantial.

9.11.7.3 LCA7, derelict / disturbed land in the Eastern Works Area, will experience slight adverse residual impacts during the construction phase, due to loss of one tree, a Macaranga tanarius, and hard standing to accommodate the Eastern Works Area. The tree will be mitigated by trees, shrubs and amenity space created in the Western Works Area by the Project (refer to Figure 9.11.2). Within the operation phase the impacts on Day 1 and Year 10 are considered insubstantial. The site will be reinstated and handed over for future development of Cha Kwo Ling Promenade Park under a separate project.

9.11.8 Impacts on Visually Sensitive Receivers

9.11.8.1 At the Eastern Works Area, upon implementation of mitigation measures, VSRs with moderate to substantial residual impacts in the construction phase are R6, R7, R8, R19, and O20. They have close and direct views onto the construction site and are also impacted by additional barges within Victoria Harbour. There will be no impacts onto the Eastern Works Area after completion of the construction phase, as after the operational stage the site will be handed back to CEDD, where the site is planned to be developed into the Cha Kwo Ling Promenade and Park. VSRs with slight to moderate residual impacts in the construction phase are O19, R3, R4, RE7, T1, T2 and T3 and the remaining VSRs will experience visual impacts of insubstantial significance.

9.11.8.2 Upon implementation of mitigation measures, within the Western Works Area in the construction phase, VSRs O14, GIC10, GIC11A, GIC11B, R3 & R4 will experience moderate to substantial residual impacts. This is due to the T2 works area being adjacent to the VSRs in the construction phase. VSRs with slight to moderate residual impacts in the construction phase is O4. O5, O6, O7, O10, O12, O16, O18, RE5, RE7, RE13, T1 and T3 and the remaining VSRs will experience visual impacts of insubstantial significance. As a large area of the KTD Runway Precinct and South Apron will also be under construction at the same time, the residual impacts within the western area are not viewed as adverse and cumulative impacts are not considered to be unacceptable within such a context.

9.11.8.3 Residual visual impacts to a majority of VSRs in the Western Works Area in the operation phase will be of slight to insubstantial significance, except for the VSRs GIC10, GIC11A, GIC11B, GIC11C, and RE10 which will experience moderate visual impacts and VSRs O6, O7, O11, O13, O14, GIC6, GIC7, GIC8, GIC9, R3, R4, RE6, RE8, RE9, and T1 that will experience visual impacts of slight to moderate significance. Despite the presence of physical above ground structures the residual visual impacts could be considered to be positive, since the structures are sensitively designed and extensive greening and tree planting will be in place to improve the overall visual experience of the structures and the surrounding area.

9.12 Cumulative Landscape & Visual Impacts

9.12.1 Concurrent Projects

9.12.1.1 The landscape and visual impacts generated by the Project are assessed in the context of associated impacts of concurrent projects.

9.12.1.2 Previously the Kai Tak Development (KTD) was a disused airport runway. On regenerating the area into a high-end mixed use development, the KTD will create a multifunctional mixed use area, providing various government, occupational, residential and recreational facilities for the Kowloon Bay and Hong Kong areas as a whole.

9.12.1.3 Trunk Road T2 is to be constructed in conjunction with two other Route 6 Projects; the CKR Route (Western Kowloon – Kai Tak) in the western South Apron area and the Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel Interchange at the eastern end, forming a major transportation route within the Kowloon Peninsula. For the CKR & TKO-LTT Route 6 projects that interface with the Project, separate EIAs have been carried out. The CKR and the Trunk Road T2 connect at the South Apron area running north west to south east directly through the site, while the Trunk Road T2 & TKO LTT will join at the Lam Tin Interchange.

9.12.1.4 The Project and associated buildings will be viewed from the north by the Kowloon Bay commercial area, comprised of newly built high rise commercial developments. From the south and south eastern areas, a cruise terminal, hotels, residential developments, a government hospital, and other related medical centers would be either in construction or are planned. Due to the increase in developments within the area, the Trunk Road T2 will play a vital role in providing public access for the growing urban population and linking the Kai Tak Development to both the immediate local areas and Hong Kong as a whole.

9.12.1.5 The Trunk Road T2 and associated buildings have insubstantial impacts to the area and are in keeping with the contemporary character of the proposed KTD. Trunk Road T2 and associated buildings will be commissioned by the end of 2020, in coordination with both the CKR and TKO-LTT Route 6 projects.

9.12.2 Impacts on Landscape Resources and Character Areas

9.12.2.1 Impacts on existing Landscape Resources and Character Areas will be mitigated in the construction and operation phases.

9.12.2.2 The cumulative impacts of the Project on Landscape Resources and Character Areas in the Western and Eastern Works Areas are listed below:

· Western Works Area, temporary loss of 75,300 square metres and a permanent loss of 8500 square meters of hard standing, 5029 square meters of planting areas and loss of 66 trees. This will be mitigated by 15,740 square meters of planting areas and 4,900 square meters of Amenity Area as referred to in the report as RE10 Kai Tak South Apron: Amenity Area. Extensive compensatory planting will include 152 trees in accordance with ETWB TCW No. 3/2006 (refer to Figure 9.11.2). Within the operation phase, impacts are slight and are considered beneficial.

· Eastern Works Area: no planting areas will be lost as the site is currently hard standing. An approximate area of 21,500 square metres of hard standing will be lost for the Eastern Works Area site offices. One tree, a Macaranga tanarius which is not considered suitable for transplanting is recommended to be felled. Mitigation for the felled tree has been included within the compensatory trees for the Western Works Area in accordance with ETWB TCW No. 3/2006 (refer to Figure 9.11.2). The site will be reinstated and handed over for future development of Cha Kwo Ling Promenade Park under a separate project. 

9.12.2.3 If the Trunk Road T2 and associated buildings were the only developments in the area, the discussed landscape and visual impacts would appear more significant. As the Project is scheduled to be constructed at the same time as many KTD proposed developments, it would appear to blend into the South Apron Development with landscape mitigation measures. As a large area of the KTD Runway Precinct and South Apron will also be under construction at the same time, the residual impacts within the western area are not viewed as adverse and cumulative impacts are not considered to be unacceptable within such a context.

9.12.2.4 On assessing the Project within the context of the CKR & TKO LTT Route 6 Projects and the KTD RODP plan for other proposed developments, and reviewing the cumulative impacts generated by the Trunk Road T2 and associated buildings, it is considered compatible with the surrounding proposed landscape. Mitigation measures will include extensive compensatory tree and shrub planting, sensitive design and architectural detailing, and finishing of built structures and provision of new public amenity area.

9.13 Summary and Conclusions

9.13.1 For the construction phase of the Trunk Road T2 within the Eastern Works Area, there are anticipated to be only very limited impacts, due to the relatively small amount of construction works to be carried out in the Eastern Works Area. Upon implementation of mitigation measures, VSRs R6, R7, R8 and R19 will be affected due to their being adjacent to the works area throughout the construction phase. However, they will only be affected by excavation of the receiving shaft early in the Project, and later the extraction and removal off-site of the tunnel boring machine. There will be no visual impacts by the Project in the Operation Phase.

9.13.2 For the construction phase of Trunk road T2 within the Western Works Area, upon implementation of mitigation measures, VSRs O14, GIC10, GIC11A, GIC11B, R3 & R4 will experience moderate to substantial residual impacts. This is due to the T2 works area being adjacent to the VSR’s in the developments through the construction phase. VSR’s with slight to moderate residual impacts in the construction phase are O4. O5, O6, O7, O10, O12, O16, O18, RE5, RE7, RE13, T1 and T3 and the remaining VSR’s experience visual impacts of insubstantial significance. As a large area of the KTD Runway Precinct and South Apron will also be under construction at the same time, the residual impacts within the western area are not viewed as adverse and cumulative impacts are not considered to be unacceptable within such a context.

9.13.3 On completion of the Project, the majority of Trunk Road T2 is underground, except for the low rise (+17mPD) Ventilation Building, Tunnel Portal Building and refuse collection building. In the Western Works Area, there will be a temporary loss of 75,300 square metres and a permanent loss of 8500 square meters of hard standing and, 5029 square meters of planting areas will be permanently lost. This will be mitigated by 15,740 square meters of planting areas and 4,900 square meters of Amenity Area as referred to in the report as RE10 Kai Tak South Apron: Amenity Area. 98 trees will be impacted upon. 67 trees are recommended to be felled and 31 are proposed to be transplanted to a location that will be identified at a later stage of the project. Extensive compensatory planting will include 152 trees in accordance with ETWB TCW No. 3/2006 (refer to Figure 9.11.2). In the Eastern Works Area one tree and an approximate area of 21,500 square metres of hard standing will be lost. Mitigation for the felled tree has been included within the compensatory trees for the Western Works Area. The site will be reinstated and handed over for future development of Cha Kwo Ling Promenade Park under a separate project. Details of the landscape proposals for the Western Works Area will be reviewed within the detail design stage. It is considered there will be no substantial adverse landscape and visual impacts by the Project during the operation phase.

9.13.4 For VSRs in the Kowloon Bay area having southern views towards the development, Trunk Road T2 and associated buildings are considered to be in context with the future developments in the South Apron and KTD.

9.13.5 The tunnel portal and refuse collection building would be sensitively designed and proposed to be no higher than 17mPD (Figures 9.12.1 – 9.12.4). Mitigation measures including vertical greening and tree planting are proposed to be provided. The overall visual impacts on the surrounding VSRs would not be significant and could be considered positive to a certain extent.

9.13.6 Due to the intended 2021 completion dates of the Kai Tak Development including the Metro Park, Runway Residential and Hotel Precinct, the Cruise Terminal and Tourism and Leisure Hub, three hospital sites and other government buildings, views from the Victoria Harbour and Southern Kowloon areas will be screened and covered. Substantial adverse visual impacts are not expected.

9.13.7 Overall, it is considered that the residual landscape and visual impacts of the Project are acceptable with mitigation measures during construction and operation phases.
