GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION
due to the presence of the substation and gantries, and associated
works north of Sizewell Gap road.
10.3.3. Leiston lies beyond 1km from the site. There will be no views towards
the proposed from properties on the eastern edge of Leiston due to the
mature boundary vegetation within the village and due to the
intervening vegetation and rising landform in the wider landscape
extending between the village and the development, with the
potential exception of a small number of houses at the eastern edge of
Heath View which might have distant oblique views from first floor
windows.
10.3.4. The properties with the greatest potential for views are summarised
below.
10.3.5. Views towards the proposed substation from properties to the
southwest of the site, south of Sizewell Gap road, are likely to be
largely screened by boundary vegetation and woodland blocks in the
intervening landscape. It is possible that the substation will be visible
above woodland from Crownlands Cottage (1 on Figure 05).
10.3.6. The dwellings at Sizewell Beach are predominately seaward-facing in
orientation. The substation may be visible from the backs of 1-4 Coast
Guard Cottages (26-29 on Figure 05)
10.3.7. The property of Home Farm (44 on Figure 05), situated to the south of
the Sizewell Gap road, will have an open view across gently
undulating field towards the proposed substation.
10.3.8. Some of the properties north of Sandy Lane (10-16, 32 and 47 on
Figure 05) will have oblique views of the proposed substation through
or between vegetation in gardens or lining the lane. The vegetation
partially or completely obscures views from some of these properties.
10.3.9. 1 and 2 Rosery Cottages (30 and 31 on Figure 05) might have views of
the gantries from the fronts of the properties, seen in the context of
