Up to approximately 0.3km to the west, south and north.
Up to approximately 0.5 - 0.75km to the north-west, west, south
and east, and a small area to the north.
Effects reduce fairly rapidly beyond these areas. Effects limited
to a small proportion of the AONB.
Two fields to the east / southeast of the substation.
Effects reduce rapidly beyond these areas. Effects limited to a
small proportion of the Heritage Coast.
Proposed landform and woodland will screen of most of the
substation with taller structures potentially visible above. Seen
within context of existing infrastructure.
New woodland on landform visible on skyline, extending out
of existing woodland and largely screening proposed
substation and existing pylons. Will occupy a large proportion
of the skyline.
