the proposed WTGs of the GWF will not form an unfamiliar element in the<br />

distant seaward views already seen from the coastline. Whilst the additional<br />

presence of the proposed WTGs on the horizon line will be perceptible in<br />

views from the coastline within the unit, the distance and layout of the<br />

proposed WTGs in relation to the WTGs of the GGOWF means they will not<br />

significantly increase the overall spread or density of the WTGs seen in<br />

views. The magnitude of operational effect of the proposed WTGs on the<br />

existing character of the Stour and Orwell Estuaries regional seascape unit is<br />

considered, therefore, to be Negligible. The sensitivity of the unit is assessed<br />

as Medium. The overall significance of operational effect is judged to be<br />

Negligible.<br />
