The areas shown are the maximum theoretical visibility, taking into account topography, principal woodlands and settlements as shown, which have been included in the model with the heights indicated. The model does not take into account any localised features such as small copses, hedgerows, mature trees or buildings and therefore gives an exaggerated impression of the extent of visibility. The actual visibility on the ground will be noticeably less than that suggested by this plan and visibility from principal settlements is likely to be possible from peripheral areas only.
