addition of new woodland and structures. The substation will,
however, be seen in the context of the existing overhead wires and
pylons and will be largely screened by the new woodland. The
magnitude of effect at Year 15 will be Low. The sensitivity of the
receptor is High and the significance of effect at Year 15 will be
Moderate. The change will be Adverse.
11.3.29. The ‘additional mitigation area’ will not be visible from this
viewpoint, being screened by other parts of the proposed landform
and planting in the foreground. Implementation of the proposed
development with the ‘additional mitigation area’ will not change the
effects assessed above.
11.3.30. 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’:

11.3.31. After 15 years the proposed landform and woodland planting on the
northern edge of the site will largely screen the substation. It might
be possible to see the upper parts of some tall structures above the
trees close to Sizewell Wents wood. It is likely that lightning rods
