GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION
easterly direction from Leiston Common to Broom Covert, although
intermittent vegetation and landform screens views from some
sections. In these views, the substation will be seen against the
backdrop of the remaining sections of adjacent retained woodland, or
on the skyline in a new gap in the woodland or to the right of the
woodland (see Viewpoint 1). The substation will also be seen in the
context of the existing partial, glimpsed views towards Sizewell
Power Station in the wider landscape to the east and direct views
towards the pylons the wider landscape to the south.
10.3.23. The effects of the proposed development will be similar with or
without the ‘additional mitigation area’ discussed in section 8.1.1.
Workers
10.3.24. Workers at the existing GGOWF substation which adjoins the site
will have views of the GWF substation. The ZTV indicates that views
towards the proposed substation are not visible from Sizewell Power
Station. Agricultural workers working in around the site will have
views towards the proposed substation. The effects of the proposed
development will be similar with or without the ‘additional
mitigation area’ discussed in section 8.1.1.
Representative Viewpoint Assessment at Year 1
10.3.25. The following analysis considers the visual effects on the eight agreed
representative viewpoints identified and described as part of the
existing visual environment. Reference should be made to the
existing photographic panoramas, wireframes and photomontages
which illustrate the existing and proposed view for the viewpoints as
follows:
