2842_LVIA 151 September 2011 GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION rights of way in the landscape around the site. Users of the bridleway which runs along Sandy Lane from Leiston Common in the northwest to Sizewell Gap road on the southeast will be the most affected. Viewpoint 2 lies on this bridleway. The development and planting will be seen in the context of the existing woodlands, substation, pylons and Sizewell Power Station. Views will be intermittent and, after 15 years, the main change will be seen as the extension of woodland into an area of farmland. 16.4.5. The substation will be visible from some sections of public rights of way to the south of Sizewell Gap road, although trees, scrub, and outgrown hedgerows in this area will limit views and, as mitigation planting matures, it will become enclosed and largely screened by woodland. 16.4.6. The substation will not be visible from the Suffolk Coast Path and only from a relatively short section of Sandlings Walk long distant route to the southeast of the site. Representative Viewpoints 16.4.7. Of the eight representative viewpoints assessed, four will experience ‘significant’ effects (Major or Major-Moderate significance) at Year 1 (all being Adverse), reducing to two by year 15 (one being Adverse and one Neutral) as mitigation planting provides screening and integrates the development into the landscape. These all lie within 1km of the site, either on local roads or public rights of way. 16.4.8. The two viewpoints from which significant effects will be experienced at Year 15 are: � 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
2842_LVIA 152 September 2011 GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION 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 on 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. 16.4.9. Effects on the other three viewpoints assessed will be of Negligible significance during construction and operation, due to the intervening effects of vegetation screening the development, and / or due to distance.
