Metadata: 2025, Natural Resources Wales, The Crown Estate Research, Pembrokeshire Seascape Sensitivity Assessment and Siting and Design Guidance for Aquaculture
Abstract:
The Crown Estate, Natural Resources Wales, and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority have recently collaborated to create Pembrokeshire seascape sensitivity assessment and siting and design guidance for aquaculture. The purpose of this guidance is to help direct aquaculture developments towards less sensitive areas of the Pembrokeshire seascape and to ensure that proposals are sited and designed in a way that respects the visual and seascape sensitivities of individual locations. The overarching aim is to support the successful consenting, operation, and growth of marine aquaculture in this nationally important and sensitive seascape, while protecting and enhancing its special characteristics and qualities.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | In accordance with the study brief, the Pembrokeshire Seascape Sensitivity Assessment methodology follows the approach and assessment stages set out within the Landscape Sensitivity Assessment Guidance for Wales (GN 017) produced by Natural Resources Wales in 20231. The approach and methodology have also been informed by the following guidance: 1) An Approach to Seascape Sensitivity Assessment (MMO1204), MMO, December 2019, 2) An Approach to Seascape Character Assessment, (NECR105), NE, October 2012, 3) Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, 3rd Edition, LI and IEMA, 2013 (referred to as GLVIA3). The detailed methodology was developed and refined in consultation with the Steering Group leading this study, in particular with respect to the definition of the assessment framework and the criteria, indicators and thresholds to be used to determine levels of sensitivity within the context of the Pembrokeshire seascape. |
