potential effects on the gardens arising from the WTGs of the proposed GWF<br />

scheme are detailed in Chapter 24 of the ES. Viewpoint 2 is located<br />

approximately 2km north-east of Cliff Gardens on a section of coastline<br />

facing more directly towards the proposed GWF. Effects on views from<br />

viewpoint 2 are assessed as Negligible magnitude (see Section 7.3). Effects on<br />

views from Cliff Gardens will be of equal or less magnitude as the coastline<br />

and gardens face in a south-south-easterly direction, not directly towards the<br />

proposed GWF, and because of the urbanised nature of the sea front, the<br />

existing views towards activities and infrastructure associated with the Port<br />

of Felixstowe and the existing distant views toward wind WTGs on the<br />

eastern, south-eastern and southern horizon. The other Registered Park &<br />

Garden in the study area is Bawdsey Manor. There are seaward views from<br />

the grounds of Bawdsey Manor and potential effects on the grounds arising<br />

from the WTGs of the proposed GWF scheme are detailed in Chapter 24 of<br />

the ES. If the proposed WTGs are visible fr0m the grounds they will be seen<br />

as very distant elements on the far horizon in the same relatively narrow<br />

sector of the seaward view as the WTGs of GGOWF. Bawsley Manor lies on<br />

the coast between viewpoints 2 and 6. Effects on views from viewpoints 2<br />

and 6 are assessed as Negligible magnitude (see Section 7.3). Effects on<br />

locations within Bawsley Manor with open views of the proposed GWF will<br />

be similar (i.e. Negligible).<br />

6.3.10. The potential effects on Scheduled Monuments and Listed Buildings arising<br />

from the WTGs of the proposed GWF scheme are detailed in Chapter 19 of<br />

the ES. Where Scheduled Monuments and Listed Buildings are located<br />

immediately on the coast edge, the magnitude of visual effects will be<br />

greatest in views from the coast north of the approximate location where the<br />

Butley River meets the River Ore, 5km southwest of Orford Ness, up to<br />

approximately Thorpeness, where the arrangement of the WTGs of the<br />

proposed and existing schemes relative to the angle of view from the coast<br />

will result in the a perceptible increase in the overall spread of WTGs visible<br />

on the distant horizon line, and where the coast is closest to the proposed<br />

wind farm. The lighthouse at Orford Ness and the Slaughton Martello Tower<br />

lie within this section of coast, and views will be affected to a similar degree<br />

of magnitude as assessed for viewpoints in Section 7.3. Viewpoints 3 is near<br />

Slaughton Martello Tower and viewpoint 5 is near the lighthouse at Orford<br />

Ness. These two viewpoints represent the highest magnitude of change<br />

assessed for all eight viewpoints – Low to Negligible. Effects on views from<br />

Scheduled Monuments and Listed Buildings from coastal areas beyond the<br />

extents defined above, or from inland where visibility is reduced by<br />

intervening landform, development and vegetation, will be of Negligible<br />

magnitude.
