GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION
Design in the preparation of ZTV studies is described separately
within a subsequent appendix.
� Site visits to become familiar with the site and surrounding
landscape and to identify viewpoints and receptors.
� The identification of and agreement upon, through consultation,
the number and location of representative viewpoints within the
study area.
� During this stage, the scheme design may not yet have been
finalised and there may be a degree of iteration (particularly in
respect of preparing ZTV studies and consequent changes to
likely effects on receptors) whilst the design is finalised.
Design
17.1.9. The documented assessment will include:
� A description of the proposed development.
� A description of any mitigation measures incorporated within
the proposals to help reduce identified potential landscape and
visual effects.
Assessment
17.1.10. The assessment of effects includes further desk and site based work,
covering the following key activities:
� The preparation of ZTVs based on the finalised design for the
development.
� The preparation of computer generated wireframes showing the
proposed development from the agreed representative
viewpoints
� An assessment of the magnitude and significance of effects upon
the landscape character, landscape designations and the existing
