GALLOPER WIND FARM SUBSTATION
by the elevated nature of the landform to the south of the road. There
will, however, be open, oblique views towards the construction of the
cable corridor along its extents to the north of the Sizewell Gap road
available to motorists and pedestrians travelling along this road.
9.3.15. During construction the existing woodland belt to the north and east
of Lover’s Lane and Sizewell Gap road is of sufficient height to
effectively screen views towards the proposed substation along most
of the length of these roads (see for example Viewpoint 7). Where a
gap opens up in the roadside vegetation along Sizewell Gap road to
the south of the site, the temporary laydown and accommodation
areas, and construction works, will be visible. Removal of trees
within Sizewell Wents will open up a gap in the woodland, which
will be most visible from a section of Sizewell Gap road to the southeast
of the site.
9.3.16. Views of the construction works from more distant roads will be
limited by roadside hedgerows, and other vegetation and
development in the landscape.
9.3.17. The effects of the proposed development on the travelling public will
be similar with or without the ‘additional mitigation area’ discussed
in section 8.1.1. While construction of the additional landform will
be visible from Sizewell Gap road it will make little difference to
effects on this receptor as the additional landform covers land that
will already be occupied by temporary laydown and accommodation
areas.

9.3.18. There may be partial views towards the construction of the onshore
cable connection and substation from Cliff House Caravan Park to the
southeast.
9.3.19. Whilst there are no views towards the construction works associated
with the proposed substation available from Sizewell Beach, visitors
