VOLUME 5.29.1.2, APPENDIX 7A: SECTION A PURITON RIDGE VISUAL ASSESSMENT TABLES - ISSUE B SENSITIVITY TEST (additional committed development)

Committed Developments within 1km of the LoD for the Proposed Development in Section A

The sensitivity of visual receptors to the Proposed Development depends on the susceptibility of the view to change, and the value attached to the view experienced. Receptor sensitivity has been assigned to receptors as follows:

Susceptibility to Change: High or Medium or Low Value of View: National or Regional and or Local Receptor Sensitivity: High or Medium or Low

The assessment of the magnitude of effect of the Proposed Development evaluates the visual effects identified in terms of the size or scale of the development; the geographical extent of the area influenced; the nature of the effect (adverse or beneficial); and its duration and reversibility. The following range of judgements are used to determine the magnitude of effect, which can be adverse or beneficial:

Magnitude of Effect: High or Moderate or Low (adverse or beneficial) or Negligible

The assessment of the significance of visual effects of the Proposed Development is a judgement based on the sensitivity of the receptor and the magnitude of the effect. The following range of judgements are used to determine the significance of effect, which can be adverse or beneficial:

compounds would also be visible, largely above existing trees, where the new 400kV overhead line connects to the VQ Route. Receptors in the

development, away from the development edge, typically would have views screened by built form with some occasional glimpsed oblique views

at gaps in built form similar to those on the development edge.

During operation: Low adverse

In the short and medium-term receptors on the development edge would have the new 400kV overhead line in views across Horsey Level and at

the top of Puriton Ridge. The Bridgwater Tee CSE compounds would be visible above existing trees where the new 400kV overhead line

supported by T-pylons connects to the VQ Route. Receptors within the development typically would have views screened by built form with some

High National High 0m Along this PRoW views are largely obscured by dense mature hedgerows along the edge of the track that the PRoW follows. The F Route is not visible for most of the PRoW. Between Sandford and Banwell Hill dense mature hedgerows on either side of the PRoW heavily filter views with glimpses of the F Route in places to the west. At the northern end at Banwell Wood a pylon is located adjacent to the PRoW and receptors have views of the F Route above hedgerows where it passes over the PRoW. Further north the PRoW follows a track down the hill and mature hedgerow and landform to the edge of the track screen views. At the northern end of the PRoW near Towerhead Road the PRoW is across a field on elevated ground. Receptors have views north, over trees and farm buildings, across the Levels in Section D. Views include the F Route connection with the N Route and properties on Mead Lane in Sandford. The F Route is visible for a small section above trees heading north.

During construction: Low adversePRoW AX 3/53 would be managed during construction works and would pass through the proposed 400kV underground cables swathe and under the F Route to be removed. The southern section of the PRoW would also form an access track to the work area. In the medium-term along the majority of the PRoW views of construction operations would be heavily filtered and screened by mature hedgerows adjacent to the PRoW with glimpsed views of works and construction machinery in Section C, and in places in Section D. For a short section of the PRoW near Banwell Wood receptors would pass through the working area for the installation of the proposed 400kV underground cables and the F Route removal. Receptors would have views southwest and northeast where hedgerows would be removed within the cable swathe. The installation of the proposed 400kV underground cables would include HDD or open cut activity to the south of the PRoW. In the short-term receptors would have relatively near and open views along the working areas and machinery associated with removal of the F Route as well as the preparation of the trenches and installation of the underground cables. North of Banwell Wood receptor views would be screened by dense hedgerow adjacent to the track. At the northern end of the PRoW near Towerhead Road receptors would have views north, over trees and farm buildings, across the Levels in Section D towards at-height works to remove the F Route and part of the N Route. The proposed 400kV underground cable installation and construction of Sandford Substation, the proposed 400kV overhead line and the AT Route connection would be just visible in the distance in a small proportion of views. Views include the F Route connection with the N Route and properties on Mead Lane in Sandford. Distant views of at-height works to construct the proposed 400kV overhead line in Section D would increase the duration of construction works visible from short-term to medium-term, however this would form a small proportion of distant views. A low adverse or negligible magnitude of effect would be experienced along most of the PRoW where views would be heavily filtered or screened. For a short section near to the cable swathe a moderate adverse magnitude of effect would be experienced where views would extend along the working area in close proximity of the works and a large proportion of view would be affected for the short-term. Overall construction works would be visible in Section C and Section D in the medium-term however given the extent of filtering and screening along most the PRoW receptors would experience a low adverse magnitude of effect. During operation: Low beneficialIn the short and medium-term the F Route would be removed from views but this would only be noticeable for a short section of the PRoW near Banwell Wood and near Towerhead Road. Through the cable swathe near Banwell Wood on completion, the reinstated and reseeded underground cable swathe would be perceptible along with replanted hedgerow field boundaries protected with stock-proof fencing. Grassland across the cable swathe would have become established within 1 to 3 years and replacement hedgerow would be established (and stock-proof fencing will no longer be visible) within 3 to 5 years following planting works. Along most of the PRoW this would not be noticeable due to heavy filtering and screening by hedgerows. Near Towerhead Road for a short section of the PRoW receptors would have views north, over trees and farm buildings, across the Levels in Section D and towards the proposed 400kV overhead line and AT Route connection just visible in the distance above trees. Sandford Substation would be screened by properties on Mead Lane. Overall a small proportion of the view would be affected but the effect would be reduced due to a high degree of filtering and screening along most of the PRoW. There would be a low scale of change from existing views and the magnitude of effect would be low beneficial.

After 15 years: Low beneficial In the long term views of the cables swathe would be similar to those anticipated following the establishment of grassland and hedgerow in the short and medium-term.

C1.H56 Residential Property

Towerhead House on Towerhead Road

Medium National High 40m This detached property has trees and a stone wall to its boundaries. The property has a north facing aspect with a part woodland setting which filters and screens views north towards the proposed construction compound adjacent to Towerhead Road, and towards the working area for the proposed 400kV underground cables. Views east are also filtered and screened by garden trees. Lower storey views are heavily filtered by mature garden trees. The F Route may be perceptible to the southeast and south running across the foot of Banwell Hill.

During construction: Moderate adverseIn the medium-term receptors would have views of construction works in Section C and Section D. At-height works associated with the removal of the F Route would be visible in direct rear upper storey views filtered by intervening trees. Underground cable works, where visible would comprise the removal of short sections of hedgerow within the working area, topsoil stripping and creation of soil heaps, creation of cable trenches and a temporary haul road with post and wire fencing protecting both sides of the working area.

The proposed installation of 400kV underground cables would comprise HDD or cables laid in open cut trenches where the cable route crosses Towerhead Road and would be visible in Section C in the short-term. Where visible the proposed 400kV underground cable works would be seen in close proximity to receptors and the magnitude of effect would be moderate adverse. The Towerhead Road Compound and installation of the proposed 400kV underground cables would also be visible in views to the north in Section D, beyond tree and hedge filtering to the property boundary and Towerhead Road. Construction activity would be visible with a moderate proportion of views affected with a high degree of filtering and screening from trees and hedgerows. Construction activity associated with the proposed 400kV and 132kV overhead lines would be perceptible above trees in northern views towards Section D. Construction of Sandford Substation would not be perceptible through heavy filtering by trees. Distant views of at-height works to construct the proposed 400kV overhead line in Section D would increase the duration of construction works visible from short-term to medium-term (5 to 15 years), however this would form a small proportion of distant views.

Overall a moderate adverse magnitude of effect would be experienced by visual receptors in the medium-term.

During operation: Low beneficialThe F Route would be removed from direct rear views. On completion, the reinstated and reseeded underground cable swathe and in-situ replacement hedgerows would be barely perceptible in views.

Orchard Lea on Towerhead Road in Towerhead

High and Medium National High 65m There is a direct front view north-north-west (from lower and upper storey windows) from this property which is in an elevated position south of Towerhead Road. The view extends down and over the road and across open fields with the F Route running within close proximity to the receptor. A pylon on the F Route on the opposite side of Towerhead Road is filtered at the base and visible against the sky. A hedgerow and line of trees filter views of the route of the proposed 400kV underground cables to the north and west. There is a rear property view west of the F Route and the route of the proposed 400kV underground cables as it runs north south to the west and southwest of this property.

During construction: Moderate adverseIn the medium-term receptors would have views of construction works in Section C and Section D. Views west would include partial views of the proposed 400kV underground cable swathe. Underground cable work would comprise the removal of short sections of hedgerow within the working area, topsoil stripping and creation of soil heaps, cable trenches and a temporary haul road with post and wire fencing protecting both sides of the working area. Views would comprise works associated with the removal of the F Route at the foot of Banwell Hill and in views north-northwest beyond Towerhead Road. Views of works at the proposed Sandford Substation site are not anticipated due to intervening screening by rising ground and properties on Mead Lane. The proposed 400kV underground cables installation would be temporary and visible in the short-term in Section C and Section D. The proposed installation of 400kV underground cables would comprise HDD or cables laid in open cut trenches where the cable route crosses Towerhead Road and would be visible in Section C in the short-term. The proposed 400kV underground cable works would be visible in close proximity to receptors. Views would extend along the working area and the magnitude of effect would be moderate adverse given the close proximity of the works, the large proportion of view affected and the short duration. Installation of the proposed 400kV underground cables would also be visible in views to the northwest in Section D, beyond tree and hedge filtering to the property boundary, Towerhead Road and field boundaries opposite. Construction activity would be visible in oblique views, and further north in direct views, with a low proportion of views affected with a high degree of filtering and screening from trees, hedgerows and landform. Construction activity associated with the construction of the proposed 400kV and 132kV overhead lines would be perceptible above trees in northern views towards Section D. Distant views of at-height works to construct the proposed 400kV overhead line in Section D would increase the duration of construction works visible from short-term to medium-term, however this would form a small proportion of distant views. Construction of Sandford Substation would not be perceptible through heavy filtering by trees. Construction works in Section D would be visible in a small proportion of the view and the effect would be reduced due to a high degree of filtering. Overall a moderate adverse magnitude of effect would be experienced by visual receptors in the medium-term.

During operation: Moderate beneficialThe F Route would be removed from direct front views. On completion, the reinstated and reseeded underground cable swathe would be barely perceptible in the view, along with replanted hedgerow field boundaries protected with stock-proof fencing. Grassland across the cable swathe would have become established within 1 to 3 years and replacement hedgerow would be established within 3 to 5 years following planting works. The top of the proposed 400kV and 132kV overhead lines, and the top of gantries at Sandford Substation in Section D may be perceptible in the upper storey view but forming a very small component of the view.

Overall a moderate beneficial magnitude of effect would be experienced due to F Route being removed from close proximity in the view.

Underground cable work would comprise the removal of short sections of hedgerow within the working area, topsoil stripping and creation of soil heaps, cable trenches and a temporary haul road with post and wire fencing protecting both sides of the working area. Views would comprise works associated with the removal of the F Route at the foot of Banwell Hill and in views north-northwest beyond Towerhead Road. Views of works at the proposed Sandford Substation site are not anticipated due to intervening screening by rising ground and properties on Mead Lane. The proposed 400kV underground cables installation would be temporary and visible in the medium-term in Section C and Section D. The proposed installation of 400kV underground cables would comprise HDD or cables laid in open cut trenches where the cable route crosses Towerhead Road and would be visible in Section C in the short-term. Installation of the proposed 400kV underground cables would also be visible in views to the northwest in Section D, beyond tree and hedge filtering to the boundary, Towerhead Road and field boundaries opposite. Construction activity would be visible in oblique views, and further north in direct views, with a low proportion of views affected with a high degree of filtering and screening from trees, hedgerows and landform. Construction activity associated with the construction of the proposed 400kV and 132kV overhead lines would be perceptible above trees in northern views towards Section D. Distant views of at-height works to construct the proposed 400kV overhead line in Section D would increase the duration of construction works visible from short-term to medium-term, however this would form a small proportion of distant views. Construction of Sandford Substation would not be perceptible through heavy filtering by trees. Construction works in Section D would be visible in a small proportion of the view and the effect would be reduced due to a high degree of filtering.

D1.H4 Group of residential properties on Towerhead Road

Low Local Low 85m Receptors experience easterly views across pastoral farmland along a shallow river valley towards properties on Mead Lane. The F Route is visible as it crosses Towerhead Road and passes along the river valley.

For some properties northerly views are partially screened by intervening buildings and garden trees but from some windows there are panoramic views across pastoral farmland interspersed with frequent hedgerows and trees. To the east the backdrop is formed by Cleeve Ridge. The F Route is barely perceptible either by filtering by intervening trees or backgrounding by Cleeve Ridge. The AT Route is also barely perceptible above intervening trees.

Properties also have southerly views, partially filtered by garden trees towards the wooded slopes of Banwell Hill, the F Route is visible passing to the east of the hill in oblique views.

During construction: Moderate adverseIn the medium-term receptors would have views of construction works in Section C and Section D. During construction, for a short duration of time, there would be open easterly views of the site compound comprising cabins, vehicles, machinery and storage of materials immediately to the east of the properties. In the short-term the 400kV underground cables trenches, haul road and construction machinery would also be visible although partially filtered by trees to the north and south of the properties. Southerly views to Section C would be more filtered by garden and road side hedgerows and trees. In addition there would be views of the removal of the F Route and glimpses of temporary at height working to construct the AT Route connection and proposed 400kV overhead line. Distant views of at-height works to construct the proposed 400kV overhead line in Section D would increase the duration of construction works visible from short-term to medium-term in combination with views towards 400kV underground cables works in Section C, however this would form a small proportion of distant and filtered views. Construction of the Proposed Development in Section D would be seen in close proximity with a large proportion of the view affected for the short-term. Construction of the Proposed Development in Section C would be visible in a small proportion of the view with a high degree of filtering and screening resulting in a low adverse magnitude of effect on views. Overall given the proximity and extent of construction operations visible across the view the magnitude of effect would be moderate adverse.

During operation: Low beneficialIn the short and medium-term the F Route would be removed from north westerly views (and for one property southerly views), this would also include the angle pylon and connection with the N Route and more distantly the removal of a short section of AT Route (although this would be barely perceptible). The proposed AT Route connection and 400kV overhead line and the top of terminal pylons at Sandford Substation would be perceptible but as they are more distant the removal of the F Route would be a more noticeable change. This would give rise to low levels of benefit to visual amenity. The underground cables connection would quickly re-establish to grass and be barely perceptible. If constructed the permanent bridge crossing over pylonhead Brook would be discernible but would be a small change to the view.

Local Medium 100m Receptors in properties have front upper storey oblique northerly views over dense hedgerow along Mead Lane. Views comprise the N Route which is partly obscured by Mead Farm.

Properties often have low boundary shrubs and trees enabling open rear views southwest across Towerhead Valley with the Mendip Hills prominent in the background. The F Route is visible crossing the adjacent field. Some properties have direct views of pylons others the pylons are more oblique but still have direct views of conductors.

Receptors in bungalows on the southern end of Mead Lane (east side) have rear oblique view towards the N Route. However some properties rear views are screened by trees along the Strawberry Line disused railway. Views from front windows are of properties on the opposite side of Mead Lane with occasional glimpses of the F Route and Mendip Hills between properties.

During construction: Moderate adverseIn the medium-term receptors would have views of construction works in Section C and Section D. In the short-term properties on the western side of Mead Lane would experience open near distance views from rear windows of construction activity to install the proposed 400kV underground cables connection and to remove the F Route in Section D. Views would comprise cable trenches and access track across fields, construction machinery, temporary cranes, site compound and work to cross Towerhead Brook either by HDD or cable ducts within adjacent fields. Construction work for a temporary and permanent bridge crossing (if constructed) and tree removal would also be visible. Although construction operations are only temporary given the degree of construction activity across fields and the proximity of the properties this would give rise to a moderate adverse magnitude of effect. Views of installation of the proposed 400kV underground cables in Section C would be visible, partially filtered by trees and hedgerows, visible in a small proportion of the view with a high degree of filtering and screening resulting in a low adverse magnitude of effect on views. Views from front elevation windows of properties on the western side of Mead Lane and properties on the eastern side would comprise temporary glimpses of cranes and at-height working to remove a short section of N Route including a temporary pylon diversion and oblique views of removal of a section of F Route and construction of terminal pylons at Sandford Substation. Construction of the Proposed Development in Section D would be seen in close proximity with a large proportion of the view affected for the short-term. Overall given the proximity and extent of construction operations visible across the view the magnitude of effect would be moderate adverse.

During operation: Low beneficial In the short and medium-term the F Route would be removed from near distance direct rear elevation views for properties on the western side of Mead Lane. Tree removal along pylonhead Brook and a new bridge crossing (if constructed) would be visible from some properties but would form a small change compared to the removal of the F Route. The ground along the route of the 400kV underground cables would quickly establish making the line of the cables indistinguishable from surrounding fields. Given the proximity of the F Route in the adjacent field, the magnitude of effect would be low beneficial. Front elevation views and views from properties on the eastern side of Mead Lane would alter with the removal of oblique views of a short section of N Route and removal of the F Route. Sandford Substation would generally be screened by intervening trees although views from upper storey windows of the top of the terminal pylon would be possible. However, this would be further away and a less perceptible change than the N Route pylons that would be removed.

Construction work for the temporary and permanent bridge crossing and tree removal would also be visible if constructed. Views of installation of the proposed 400kV underground cables in Section C would be filtered by trees and hedgerows, visible in a small proportion of the view with a high degree of filtering and screening resulting in a low adverse magnitude of effect on views. Views from side elevation windows of this property and views from Mead Farm would comprise glimpses of temporary scaffolding across Mead Lane, temporary cranes and at-height working to remove a short section of N Route including a temporary pylon diversion, glimpsed views of a construction compound to the west of Droveway Farm and oblique views of removal of a section of F Route and construction of terminal pylons at Sandford Substation. In Section D construction of the Proposed Development would be seen in close proximity with a large proportion of the view affected for the short-term. Overall given the proximity and extent of construction operations visible across the view the magnitude of effect would be moderate adverse.

During operation: Moderate beneficial In the short and medium-term the F Route would be removed from near distance direct rear elevation views for the property at the northern end of Mead Lane including the adjacent connection pylon between the N and F Routes. Tree removal along pylonhead Brook and the new bridge crossing would be visible, if constructed, but would form a small change compared to the removal of the F Route. The ground along the route of the 400kV underground cables would quickly establish making the line of the cables indistinguishable from surrounding fields. Side elevation views and views from Mead Farm would alter with the removal of direct views of the N Route and more oblique views of the F Route. Sandford Substation would generally be screened by intervening trees although views from upper storey windows of the top of the terminal pylon would be possible. However, this would be further away and a less perceptible change than the F and N Route pylons that would be removed. Given the proximity of the F and N Routes in the adjacent field, and particularly for the property on the northern end of Mead Lane removal of the F Route and N Route in near views from rear and side elevation windows, the magnitude of effect would be moderate beneficial.

Local Low 0m Towerhead Road is bordered by mature hedgerows and frequent hedgerow trees which limits and channels views along the route. Occasional breaks in hedgerows or sections of lower hedgerows enable views of the rising ground of the Mendip Hills to the immediate south and to the north often panoramic views across the pastoral farmland towards Cleeve Ridge. The F Route is generally barely perceptible in the view given the distance, degree of backgrounding by Cleeve Ridge and the speed of travel. The most notable section of the F Route is where it crosses the road but only a short stretch north and south are visible from the road.

During construction: Low adverseIn the medium-term receptors would have views of construction works in Section C and Section D. Along most of this road construction operations would be barely perceptible due either to distance or screening by intervening trees and built form. Distant views of at-height works to construct the proposed 400kV overhead line in Section D in combination with 400kV underground cables works in Section C would increase the duration of construction works visible from short-term to medium-term, however this would form a small proportion of distant views. Along a very short section of the route there would be open views of the bell mouth entrances to the site compound to the north in Section D and into the field and access track to the south in Section C. At this point construction machinery, site cabins and construction operations would be visible. In addition work to remove the F Route would also be visible in close distance views. Effects along this short section of road would be moderate adverse, however along the remainder of the route effects would be no greater than low adverse.

During operation: NegligibleIn the short and medium-term views along the route would be similar to the baseline. Where the proposed underground cables crosses the road the route would be barely perceptible apart from reinstated hedgerows and re-establishing ground cover which in the medium term would become similar to the baseline views. The F Route would be removed from the view but it is only noticeable along a very short section of the route where it would introduce low levels of benefit to visual amenity. Along much of the route the proposed development would be barely perceptible.

Appendix 17D - Cumulative Assessment – Scoped Out

Major Development Proposals-


VOLUME 5.29.1.2, APPENDIX 17D: CUMULATIVE ASSESSMENT -

SCOPED OUT MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS – ISSUE B ES

SENSITIVITY TEST

A1. Due to the bespoke nature of potential cumulative effects for each of the

environmental topics and the manner in which they are considered and

assessed, it is not appropriate to include all major development proposals

identified in the Final Master List in the assessment of potential cumulative

effects. Therefore, for each environmental topic, each Final Master List

development proposal has been further considered with regard to whether it

is likely (either alone or in combination with other major development

proposals) to have cumulative effects with the Proposed Development.

A2. Where such cumulative effects are considered unlikely to arise, they are

then scoped out from that cumulative assessment; justification is provided in

each case. The projects that have been scoped out for each environmental

topic are provided at Table A17.1. This includes new major developments

identified as part the ES Sensitivity Test. The developments are shown on

the urban areas south of the Bridgwater conurbation and are

distant from the Proposed Development. The development

proposals would have no effect on landscape affected by the

new 400kV overhead line.

108 No cumulative effects are anticipated as a result of this

development because this proposal is distant from the

Proposed Development in Section D Somerset Levels and

Visual Effects

103 A small-scale development for a building, located approx. 0.5km north west of the Proposed Development at Bridgwater Tee, beyond the M5 and railway.No significant cumulative impacts are anticipated.


104 Mixed-use development east of the M5, west of Bristol City Airport, approx. 2km east of the Proposed Development at Hallen/Seabank.

No significant cumulative impacts are anticipated on ecological receptors. The Proposed Development will not restrict the use of Hallen Marsh as future mitigation land, if indeed ID 104 was found to require delivery/partial delivery of this.

106 Mixed-use development on the north eastern edge of Bristol, located over 8km east of the Proposed Development at Avonmouth. No significant cumulative impacts are anticipated

107 Moderate-scale residential development located over 2.5km south west of the Proposed Development at Bridgwater substation, west of the M5 (junction 24). No significant cumulative impacts are anticipated.

111 Solar energy facility located approx. 2.4km north of Seabank substation. An EIA for project ID 111 is required, although no detailed documents supporting this decision or the subsequent EIA available. Based on aerial photography, ID 111 appears to comprise arable and pasture fields, with hedgerows, trees and ditches/drains along the field boundaries.

ID 111 lies outside the SAC Consideration Zones for horseshoe bats that apply to the Proposed Development. Low levels of bat activity were recorded in the vicinity of Seabank substation during the field surveys carried out since 2012. Given the distance between ID 111 and the Proposed Development, no cumulative effects in respect of protected species, such as GCN, are anticipated.

112 Localised works to rail embankment on line heading north through the city (between Lawrence Hill and Flinton Abbey Wood stations), over 7km east of the Proposed Development at Avonmouth. No significant cumulative impacts are anticipated.

113 Localised works to highways land within Bristol, extending to the western edge of the city, approx. 7km from the Proposed Development at Portbury at the closest point. No significant cumulative impacts are anticipated

114 Landscape works, including infilling of irrigation lakes, within Flinton Golf Club works, located over 5km east of the Proposed Development at Avonmouth at the closest point. No significant cumulative impacts are anticipated.

116 Bioenergy facility to process dry waste wood (supplied by neighbouring wood recovery facility), located approx. 1.35km south of Seabank substation within previously development industrial land. No significant cumulative impacts are anticipated


Ground Environment

100 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116

The other major developments ID100, ID103 to ID116,

identified within Table 17.1 have been scoped out based on

geographical separation and the localised physical impacts to

the ground environment that the Proposed Development and

the other major developments are likely to have either

individually or cumulatively.

Hydrology and Water Resources

103 Due to the hydrological separation of the projects

(approximately 1.00km) and by the M5, the potential for

cumulative effects on hydrology and water resources is

considered to be negligible.

104 Due to the hydrological separation of the projects (in excess of

2.5km), the potential for cumulative effects on the ground

environment is considered to be negligible.

105 Due to the distance of the A&R House Partnership

development (in excess of 4.50km downstream) from the

proposed crossing works at the River Axe, the potential for

cumulative effects on hydrology and water resources is

considered to be negligible.




107 Due to the two developments being separated by the

Bridgwater and Taunton Canal, River Parrett, the M5 and

Bridgwater, the potential for cumulative effects on hydrology

and water resources is considered to be negligible.

108 The potential for cumulative effects on the water environment is

considered to be negligible. The hydrological separation

between the proposed solar farm and the proposed

development (Churchill Substation) is in excess of 7.00km. In

addition, the proposed installation of a solar energy facility is on

Greenfield land and runoff rates would be restricted to pre-

development rates, therefore any impact upon the water

environment is unlikely.

Historic Environment

104 105 106

107 108 109

110 111 112

113 114 115

116

Inter-project cumulative effects on the historic environment can occur during construction where areas of archaeology or contiguous/ contemporary archaeology assets are affected by more than one development footprint. For such effects to occur development footprints need to overlap or be adjacent and where this is not the case the distance of separation is such that the inter-project development proposal can be scoped out of any cumulative assessment for this aspect of the historic environment topic.

Different development projects in combination can also have a cumulative effect on the settings of a heritage asset, or shared setting of an associated group of assets, when it is affected by more than one development during the construction and operational phases of those developments; and where the part of the settings that are affected by both proposals makes a positive contribution to the heritage significance of the asset. Therefore effects can be scoped out where there are no heritage asset effects common to the Proposed Development and the project being assessed for cumulative effects, and/ or the effects are individually and in combination not of sufficient scope to affect underlying historic landscape character or the contribution made by setting to significance.

These projects meet both of the criteria referenced above and would have no construction or operational phase cumulative effects on the historic environment.

As no cumulative effects are predicted during the construction or operation of these projects in combination with the Proposed Development no additional decommissioning effects are predicted either. This is because historic environment effects occur during the construction and operational phases of developments and are generally only reversed on decommissioning.

Traffic and Transport

Note: As part of our agreed methodology TEMPro (Trip End Model Program) and the National Trip End Model (NTEM) software and databases have been used to apply growth factors to the observed background traffic. The application of these growth factors accounts for the growth associated with committed developments. Therein, whilst scoped out, these developments have been accounted for in future year traffic growth which has been input into all capacity assessments undertaken as part of the TA.


100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116

As part of the scoping process it was agreed that TEMPro (Trip End Model Program) and the National Trip End Model (NTEM) forecasts databases would be used to uplift the observed (2013) traffic for future year capacity assessments.

These uplifts, specific to the year would account for the scoped out committed development identified within the traffic and transportation capacity impact assessments.

TEMPro is a software package published by the Department for Transport (DfT) which allows users to generate growth factors which can be applied to observed traffic data in order to establish forecast future year scenarios. The primary function of the software is to uplift observed traffic flows to a future year to represent the growth in traffic resulting from forecast committed developments in a specific geographical location.

The software produces growth factors based on various input parameters which can be tailored to suit the needs of a particular geographical locations and road type. For the purposes of this assessment, TEMPro has been used to generate growth factors for LGVs only as no dedicated data is provided for HGVs.

TEMPro also employs the use of the National Trip End Model (NTEM) forecasts to allow growth factor forecasts to be made based on population, employment, households – by car ownership, trip ends and simple traffic growth factors.

This methodology to establish background traffic growth factors has been agreed with the LPAs.

However, to ensure a robust assessment and through discussions with the Local Planning Authorities, ten local committed developments have been included in addition to the growth factors applied by TEMPRo.

Air Quality and Emissions

104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114

This project is sited >1km from the Proposed Development.

Construction fugitive emissions impacts are local to the site and

no addition of effects is likely.

Noise and Vibration

100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116

Socio-economics and Land Use

100 Construction completed by start of Proposed Development

101 32 Full Time Equivalent ’s identified, with 12 month construction

programme, no confirmed start date and no detail available on

construction workforce. There is no evidence to suggest that

this project will generate effects of a scale likely to have

significant cumulative socio-economic effects with the Proposed

Development.

102 107 108 109 110 111 112 114 115 116

There is no evidence to suggest that this project will generate

effects of a scale likely to have significant cumulative socio-

economic effects with the Proposed Development.

103 Potential cumulative effects associated with construction

employment demand from the local labour market are

considered insignificant between the Proposed Development

and this type of development. The majority of the works for the

Proposed Development will require skilled staff with specialist

knowledge specific to the Proposed Development, these will be

provided by the appointed contractor and are considered part of

the assessed in-migrating workforce. Whilst cumulative

demand for local staff could occur between elements of the

civils work such as earthworks, access roads and fencing, the

duration of these works for the Proposed Development are

short periods (up to 6 month) within the overall programme.

The Proposed Development has an identified peak local

employment demand of up to 60 staff for civils work which is

considered unlikely to have a significant cumulative effect with

this project.


104 Potential cumulative effects associated with construction

employment demand from the local labour market are

considered insignificant between the Proposed Development

and this type of development. The majority of the works for the

Proposed Development will require skilled staff with specialist

knowledge specific to the Proposed Development, these will be

provided by the appointed contractor and are considered part of

the assessed in-migrating workforce.

Whilst cumulative demand for local staff could occur between

elements of the civils work such as earthworks, access roads

and fencing, the duration of these works for the Proposed

Development are short periods (up to 6 month) within the

overall programme which is considered unlikely to have a

significant cumulative effect with this project.

Socio-economics information for the pending application does

not identify likely employment numbers during construction but

notes the majority are likely to be local.

105 The construction programme of this project is unknown, although anticipated to be two years. The ES for the project does not include information on the type of employees required during the construction phase. An Economic Statement is referenced but not available on to view. However, it is noted that the Local Authority consider that the application will ‘create new jobs and give additional leisure opportunities to residents as well as visitors. As the Proposed Development is unlikely to have significant employment effects once completed, only the potential long-term operational effect on local tourism economy is considered further.

The overall significance of the Proposed Development on the local visitor economy is assessed as no more than minor adverse.

This application has the potential to positively affect tourism in North Somerset and is being progressed in full knowledge of the Proposed Development.

National Grid’s Proposed Development is not considered likely to have a cumulative effect on tourism in the context of this development and given the limited information available, this is not considered further in the assessment.


106 Potential cumulative effects associated with construction employment demand from the local labour market are considered insignificant between the Proposed Development and this type of development. The majority of the works for the Proposed Development will require skilled staff with specialist knowledge specific to the Proposed Development, these will be provided by the appointed contractor and are considered part of the assessed in-migrating workforce.

Whilst cumulative demand for local staff could occur between elements of the civils work such as earthworks, access roads and fencing, the duration of these works for the Proposed Development are short periods (up to 6 month) within the overall programme which is considered unlikely to have a significant cumulative effect with this project.

The project was not considered an EIA development; the Planning Statement identifies likely full time employment of 1.5 per dwelling built, with two further employed in the supply chain. This is not spread over the programme.

113 Potential cumulative effects associated with construction employment demand from the local labour market are considered insignificant between the Proposed Development and this type of development. The majority of the works for the Proposed Development will require skilled staff with specialist knowledge specific to the Proposed Development, these will be provided by the appointed contractor and are considered part of the assessed in-migrating workforce.

Whilst cumulative demand for local staff could occur between elements of the civils work such as earthworks, access roads and fencing, the duration of these works for the Proposed Development are short periods (up to 6 month) within the overall programme which is considered unlikely to have a significant cumulative effect with this project. Particularly as the programmes are only partially overlapping and work locations occurring at the same time are geographically separated.


EMF

All Projects within Final Master List and New Major Projects List

Both the transmission and distribution assets associated with the Proposed Development have each been assessed for compliance against Government guideline limits documented in NPS EN-5.

Electric and magnetic fields can combine with the EMFs already present in the development area from other sources such as appliances, domestic and industrial wiring etc; however the largest source of fields are typically from electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure. The way in which fields from different sources combine with each other is complex. The relative power flows, voltage and the relative phasing of each electrical asset would affect the direction of the fields from each asset and therefore whether they add or subtract with one another. The cumulative field could increase or decrease depending on the specific conditions, but it would only be a slight effect either way.

However even considering the worst case situation of the maximum electric and magnetic fields from both the proposed 400kV overhead lines and cables combining, i.e. the highest EMFs encountered along the route, these combined fields would still be lower than the Government guideline levels.

Therefore the cumulative impact of all of the components of the Proposed Development and any interactions with other developments which produce lower EMFs are not significant.
