Viewpoint 1 – Residential Properties and Public Right of Way North
West of the Site
Proposed View
11.3.26. After 15 years the proposed woodland planting on the western and
northern edges of the site will enclose and largely screen the proposed
substation and landform. The new woodland will be seen as a
continuation to Sizewell Wents woodland, and it will join the two
areas of retained woodland which have been separated during the
construction of the substation.
11.3.27. The upper parts of the proposed substation are likely to be visible on
the skyline above this woodland. The works will be seen below and in
the foreground to the pylons and overhead wires, and parts of the
retained woodland. The discontinuous hedgerow on the edge of the
foreground field will provide some screening in summer but it will be
possible to see the new woodland and substation through the hedge
in winter.
Magnitude and Significance of Effect
11.3.28. The changes to the view will be removal of part of the woodland and
