GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION
6.0 Potential for Cumulative Effects
6.1.1. The following proposals could potentially be included for cumulative
LVIA:
1) Sizewell C. No proposals are currently available for Sizewell C
and it is, therefore not possible to include in a meaningful
cumulative assessment. However, there is a ‘nominated site area’
and consultees have requested that potential cumulative effects
with Sizewell C are discussed in the LVIA;
2) Sizewell B dry fuel store. This proposed development lies within
the existing Sizewell footprint, screened from the landscape. The
LVIA prepared by Gillespies for British Energy for that
development assesses impacts to be negligible - there will
therefore be no significant cumulative effects with Galloper
wind farm substation; and
3) GGOWF substation. GGOWF is part of the existing baseline for
the LVIA of GWF. It is, therefore, not assessed as a separate
cumulative development.
6.1.2. A discussion on potential cumulative effects of GWF with Sizewell C
is given in section 15.0. Cumulative effects with Sizewell B dry fuel
store and GGOWF substation are not assessed for reasons given above.
