1 will be Major-Moderate. The change will be Adverse.
10.3.28. The ‘additional mitigation area’ will not be visible from this
viewpoint, being screened by other parts of the proposed landform in
the foreground. Implementation of the proposed development with
the ‘additional mitigation area’ will not change the effects assessed
above.
10.3.29. By comparing the following Figures it can be seen that, from this
viewpoint, there is no difference in the appearance of the proposed
development between schemes without or with the ‘additional
mitigation area’:
Without ‘additional
mitigation area'
With ‘additional

Viewpoint 2 – Public Right of Way North of the Site
Proposed View
10.3.30. The proposed substation and landform will form a new feature on the
skyline, occupying a large width of the view. It will extend from
Sizewell Wents woodland to the left of the view onto the open skyline
to the right of the view. The substation will be partially screened by
the northern edge of the woodland, which will mostly be retained (a
small area of trees on the edge of the wood will be removed in this
view), and scrub vegetation occupying the hollow in the foreground.
The different constituent components of the substation will be seen
in the context of, and largely screen, the existing pylon towers and
wires spanning the horizon line behind them.
