8.6. Cumulative Viewpoint Appraisal
8.6.1. Viewpoints 3 and 7 were agreed with Suffolk Coastal District Council,
Suffolk County Council and Natural England, for the assessment of
cumulative effects. As described in Section 7.3, receptors at Viewpoint 7 (The
Naze) will experience effects of Negligible magnitude and Negligible
significance. Cumulative visual effects on receptors at Viewpoint 7 due to
the addition of GWF will, therefore, be Negligible given that all other wind
farm sites already been included as part of the baseline environment.
8.6.2. The nature of cumulative effects described for viewpoint 3 below are broadly
representative of the combined views towards the WTGs of the proposed
GWF and GGOWF seen from within the area between Thorpeness and the
Butley River, covering approximately 15 to 20km of coastline.
8.6.3. Distances from the GWF are measured to the nearest WTG within the layout
assessed.
