Galloper Wind Farm Project - National Infrastructure Planning

● Large-scale isolated development, such as Sizewell and
Felixstowe Dock, is very visible in this largely open
landscape and may increase in extent in the future.
● Increase in telecommunications, marine navigation and
radio transmitter masts.
● Importance of estuaries for over-wintering waders and
migratory birds, and landscape quality, has to be
balanced with commercial shipping pressure, the impact
of Felixstowe and Harwich Docks, and potential pressure
from water-based leisure activities in the larger estuaries.
Shaping the Future
● There is scope for the management and replanting of
hedgerows and hedgerow trees, especially elms and lines
of pine.
● The management of heathland should be considered,
including multi-purpose strategies for forested areas and
the restoration of heathland areas.
● An increase in saltmarsh could form part of a new strategy
to accommodate coastal erosion and flood defences.
● The impact of recreational boat use on the estuaries and
its associated development pressure should be addressed.
● The development of sensitive marketing would
encourage appropriate tourism.
