towns and villages. Since the onshore cable route has been designed around towns and villages no site allocations are crossed.
52. For MSDC, two areas are crossed by the onshore electrical transmission works
including access. One area is Visually Important Open Space within Claydon. The other is an area designated as a Special Landscape Area (SLA) at Bramford, Suffolk Water Park. For SCDC the nearest designations are located immediately adjacent to the onshore electrical transmission works including access in Falkenham (immediately east of the onshore cable route), and Little Bealings (immediately south). Falkenham and Little Bealings contain areas designated under policy AP28 (policy AP28 – Area to be Protected from Development). In addition, the onshore cable route crosses Waldringfield and is adjacent to Playford. These villages are within designations as SLAs. SLAs are considered in Chapter 29 Seascape, Landscape and Visual Amenity, along with the area of Visually Important Open Space in Claydon. Tuddenham
St.Martins (immediately south of the onshore cable route) is also within an SLA as well as within a Conservation Area. Conservation Areas are considered under Chapter 25 Onshore Archaeology and Cultural Heritage.
53. The following planning designations are present in areas crossed by the onshore
cable route: AP28 at Little Bealings (SCDC). The area would be avoided using HDD. No other planning designations as per the site allocations shown in the proposals maps produced for the SCDC, andMSDC Local Plans were located at the landfall, along the onshore cable route or at the converter station. Therefore no impacts are predicted on planning designations under either cable installation scenario and this is not considered further.

across the two study areas. It describes the crops grown and agricultural practices adopted where these are known. Where semi-natural vegetation persists this is also characterised. It should be noted that this assessment is based on high level datasets which are only accurate at the time of data collection. They should only be considered indicative of the land uses found within the study areas.

This section draws on the following sources of information, which were combined and cross checked:
The map covering East Anglia of the Soil Survey of England and Wales was reviewed (sheet 6) for East Anglia ONE. The maps are at a scale of 1:250,000 and show soils categorised into a variety of soil associations. The maps will be updated for the final ES to allow for incorporation of the access routes for East
