The impact on the landscape of high-voltage transmission lines : Major design report, Diploma of Landscape Architecture, Lincoln College, University of Canterbury

Abstract

The purpose of this study is threefold:

1 - to identify the nature of the impact of high-voltage transmission lines on the landscape.

2 - to determine landscape criteria and the stages at which they may be assessed within the route selection process.

3 - to apply the foregoing principles to a route selection study for a proposed 66kv transmission line from Culverden to Kaikoura.
