2842_LVIA 41 September 2011 GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION that remain in excellent condition. 4.3.19. The low-lying, open character of this landscape character type increases its sensitivity to the type of change proposed. The diversity of land-uses and the complexity of the landscape structure, however, combine with the screening effects of vegetation to moderate this sensitivity. It is considered, therefore, that the sensitivity of this landscape character type to the type of change proposed by the substation development, outwith its area, is High-Medium. Estate Sandlands 4.3.20. The Estate Sandlands landscape character type comprises a flat, or very gently rolling, plateaux of freely-draining sandy soils, overlying drift deposits of either glacial or fluvial origin. There are extensive areas of heathland and acid grassland and a distinct absence of watercourses. The landscape is strongly structured by geometric fields enclosed in the 18 th and 19 th Centuries. Large continuous blocks of commercial forestry combine with the widespread planting of tree belts and occasional isolated pockets of ancient woodland to give a wooded feel to the landscape. The wooded horizon lines, however, often give way to long and distant views. There is a high incidence of relatively late, estate type, brick buildings as well as buildings with slate roofs built with white or yellow bricks. Flint is also widely used in as a walling material. On the coast, red brick buildings with pantiled roofs, often black-glazed, are commonly found. 4.3.21. The substation site lies within this landscape character type and the onshore connection route passes through it as it extends eastwards from the substation. Sensitivity to Change 4.3.22. Many areas of the Estate Sandlands have lost much of their rural character due to the steady pressure of suburbanisation and tourismrelated development. High-tech modern farming and forestry also
2842_LVIA 42 September 2011 GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION tend to dominate in certain areas. Sizewell Power Station and lines of pylons and overhead wires also lie in this character type. 4.3.23. The visual enclosure afforded by the woodland vegetation and landform combine with the strong landscape structure and existing development to moderate the sensitivity of this landscape character type to the type of change proposed by the substation development. The frequency of long distance views, however, increases its sensitivity. The sensitivity of this landscape character type to the change proposed by the substation development is considered, therefore, to be Medium.
