In general, a geological depression is a landform that is sunken or lower than the surrounding area.
Geomorphology is the science of natural processes of landform formation.
It will also enable the creation of a new landform to higher levels, which will more than double the void space available for spoil and waste within the site.
Most of the scheme will be screened from view by the local landform and surrounding woodlands and by the proposed screen planting.
It will also enable the creation of a landform which offers more than double the voidspace, both requiring and accommodating additional spoil and waste.
This affords protection to the habitats of key species of flora and fauna and to a range of the main geological and landform features.
Bull (1990, 1991) has noted that the main strath formed during the evolution of the longitudinal profile of a river can be considered as a synchronous landform.
Landscape settings are based on pooled landform elements.
