4.10.4 Summary of Future Baseline

New infrastructure provision across Ireland has the potential to lead to incremental but small

changes in landscape character and quality. This includes from the loss of landscape features

and areas with an important visual amenity value. Increasing traffic levels associated with an

increase in population also has the potential to negatively impact landscape character and

tranquillity.
