GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION
9.3.9. The property of Home Farm (44 on Figure 05), situated to the south of
the Sizewell Gap road, will have an open view across gently
undulating field towards the construction of the onshore cable
connection route and substation.
9.3.10. Some of the properties north of Sandy Lane (10-16, 32 and 47 on
Figure 05) will have oblique views of the construction of the proposed
substation through or between vegetation in gardens or lining the
lane. The vegetation partially or completely obscures views from
some of these properties.
9.3.11. 1 and 2 Rosery Cottages (30 and 31 on Figure 05) might have views of
the construction works associated with the gantries and cable
connections to them, from the fronts of the properties, seen in the
context of the existing much larger pylons. However, it is possible
that intervening vegetation along the bridleway will obscure these
views. The construction of the northern cable corridor from the
proposed substation to the gantries will require the removal of
woodland on the northeast and east sides of the existing GGOWF
substation and it is possible that this will open up views of the
substation from the properties.
9.3.12. The effects of the proposed development on residential receptors will
be the same with or without the ‘additional mitigation area’ discussed
in section 8.1.1.
9.3.13. The residential amenity of residential properties would not be
unacceptably harmed by the construction of the substation or
onshore cable connection to their view.
Travelling Public
9.3.14. During the construction phase, views towards the onshore cable
connection route to the south of the Sizewell Gap road will be
partially screened, and in places wholly screened, from local road
users by the outgrown medium hedgerows aligning the road and also
