Chapter 8 – Future Enhancements

Following the release of the tranquillity pilot mapping report, stakeholders provided feedback on further datasets that could be included in the tranquillity assessment. With the benefit of more time and access to more complete datasets, the following suggestions would be of interest for future iterations of the assessment:

  • Urban trees dataset to include in P04 Seeing broadleaved woodland in the urban analysis.
  • Include recreation, especially noise associated with water sports and boat movements as a negative indicator.
  • Include helicopter movements in N10 Seeing and/or hearing low flying airplanes.
