8.1.1 The
visual impact associated with the construction and operation phases of the
Helipad has been assessed. Significant
visual impacts are not predicted during the construction and operational phases
and, hence, no EM&A is required.
8.2.1 With
the proper mitigation measures as recommended in the EIA Report, the potential
for adverse visual impact is minimised. Mitigation measures during operational
phase shall be implemented by Hospital Authority (HA)/ Government Flying
Service (GFS) in order to control the lighting impacts to the VSRs during
operation at nighttime, which includes:
·
landing light of
the helicopter would be switched on during approach and departure;
·
perimeter
lights on the helipad will be switched on during approach mode to take-off mode
of the helicopter only;
·
perimeter
lights will be inset into the helipad emitting upward; and
·
minimise the
external reflectance of the noise barrier material with the use of laminated
glass.
8.3.1 Potential
visual impacts during construction and operational phase have been evaluated.
The impacts are considered to be insignificant and, hence, no inspection or
audit is required.
