124. Possible cumulative impacts have been considered between the proposed East Anglia THREE project and the Bramford to Twinstead transmission connection which would provide an electricity connection between Bramford substation and Twinstead, to the south of Sudbury in Essex. However, there is not considered to be an overlap in terms either of the visual impacts nor the groundworks impact and therefore no cumulative impacts are considered to apply.
125. Cumulative impacts have also been considered between the Development Area and the re-development of the Old Fisons Site, Paper Mill Lane, Bramford. Due to the 19th and 20th century use of the site as chemical works there is anticipated to have been substantial disturbance of buried archaeological remains. The site, which includes the Grade II Listed North Warehouse, lies approximately 2.2km to the north-east of Figeon’s Farmhouse, the only designated heritage assets considered to be visually affected by the convertor station. However, due to the surrounding topography and the belt of trees along the northern edge of Bullen Lane there is not considered to be any meaningful intervisibility between the sites and therefore no cumulative visual impact from the two proposed developments on Figeon’s Farmhouse.
126. While there is a cumulative effect on buried archaeological remains within the wider area as a result of many of the developments considered in Table 25.10, assuming appropriate preservation by record, or where possible, preservation in situ, is achieved, then this potential loss will be mitigated in line with NPPF and other planning policy relating to archaeology. There may also be considered to be a potential cumulative positive impact as archaeological knowledge and understanding of the locality is improved.
127. Although there is some overall cumulative impact on the Historic Landscape Character of the area and historic hedgerows this is considered to be negligible as no substantial impact on HLC is anticipated for any of the projects, due in large part of the re-development of brownfield sites.
25.8 Inter-Relationships
128. Inter-relationships exist between the onshore archaeology and cultural heritage and the assessment undertaken for Landscape, Seascape and Visual Amenity and that for Noise and Vibration. Information from these chapters has been used to help establish any potential impacts on the onshore archaeology and cultural heritage and inform the impact assessment presented here.
