GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION
� Viewpoint 2 on the bridleway approximately 0.13km to the
north of the site. The changes are mainly due to the extent of new
woodland that will be visible across part of an existing open
skyline. The visual effects are assessed as Major-Moderate
significance. On balance it is considered that the changes will be
Neutral as the existing pylons will be screened but it is possible
that some substation structures will be visible above trees. In the
longer term, as trees continue to grow, it is likely that all
substation structures will become screened.
� Viewpoint 4 on Sizewell Gap road to the east of the site (also part
of the Sandlings Walk) where the development and new
woodland will be seen on the skyline, albeit in the context of
existing infrastructure. The visual effects are assessed as Major-
Moderate significance. The effects will be Adverse.
