GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION<br />

5.4.22. This view is from higher ground to the west of the substation site<br />

looking across an arable field bound by woodland and hedgerows in<br />

the foreground, falling towards a broad valley. Trees run across the<br />

view in the distance and Sizewell Power Station is a feature on the<br />

skyline beyond. Overhead wires cross the skyline, running from the<br />

power station to the centre of the view, disappearing behind<br />

woodland to the right to the right of the view. A line of telegraph<br />

poles with overhead wires crosses the field in the foreground.<br />

Sizewell Wents woodland and the two pylons east of the site of the<br />

proposed substation are visible on the distant skyline. Behind the<br />

viewpoint is a mobile home/camping site which is screened from the<br />

road by a hedgerow; there would not be views towards the site from<br />

within the mobile home/camping site.<br />

Sensitivity of Visual Receptor<br />

5.4.23. Given that receptors would mainly be motorists travelling along local<br />

roads, the sensitivity of the receptor is considered to be Medium.
