Bealings, Playford, Culpho, Tuddenham St Martin, Westerfield, Akenham, and Claydon before traversing the A14. It crosses the River Gipping at the boundary with Little Blakeham before turning south-westwards into Branford parish and the proposed convertor location site.
5. 6.
The majority of the route is agricultural and rural in nature though a number of roads cross the route.
The Site is situated within the low-lying and gently undulating landscape of Suffolk, which rises gently from Bawdsey cliffs at an elevation of around 10m above Ordnance Datum (aOD) to around 50m aOD at the convertor station location. Areas of higher ground are often small and localised and long-distance views easily obscured by intervening features.

Across such a wide area the geology of the Site naturally varies, its position at the limit of the Anglian ice sheet and the riverine environment influencing the more recent geological deposits, which will most likely be encountered during construction works. Bedrock deposits of Reg Crag sands are recorded at the eastern end of the route at Bawdsey. The Study Area moving westwards is then dominated by the Thames Group clay and silts to Kirton with further deposits of Red Crag from here into Culpho. The route from Tuddenham to Claydon is once again predominantly recorded as the Thames Group deposits until it reaches the Newhavern Chalk deposits around Claydon, Little Blakenham and Bramford. The underlying deposits at the convertor station site is mapped clay, silt and sand of the Thanet Sand Formation and Lambeth Group while superficial deposits of Lowestoft Formation are recorded both here and further eastwards. This till deposit was formed from material washed down during seasonal and post glacial meltwaters from the Anglian icesheet. Other superficial deposits of sand and gravel and tidal flats are recorded within the eastern part of the Study Area.

The methodology employed for the preparation of this assessment, including the study areas, sources and assessment methods as well as terminology used in the report, is described in detail below.
In summary, the recorded historic environment resource within a 500m Study Area around the proposed cable route and convertor stations was considered in order to provide the context for the discussion and interpretation of the known and potential resource. Results from a review of the historic aerial photographs undertaken for East Anglia ONE within a 500m radius of the proposed development were also
