infrastructure to the north of this section and provides a sense of relative tranquillity.
90.
The study area includes the southern edge of the settlement of Woodbridge and the northern outskirts of the settlement of Martlesham. There are farms and some semi- rural dwellings between the main settlements.
29.3.12.1 91.
Sensitivity of landscape receptors
There are no landscape designations in this section of the route. The presence of road and rail infrastructure and the built environment reduce the value of the landscape. The overall value of the landscape within the study area is medium to low. Susceptibility to change from the cable laying process is from the removal of areas of hedgerow where the cable passes through and the short term disruption of ground cover. Susceptibility is considered to be medium with capacity for restoration. The overall sensitivity to the proposed project is considered to be medium.
29.3.12.2 92.
Sensitivity of visual receptors
Footpaths, bridleways, a rail line, minor roads and the A12 road corridor occur along this short section of the route. The settlement of Woodbridge is situated to the north of the study area and will experience few visual impacts from the proposed project due to landform and intervening trees, hedgerows and other landscape features.
93.
Public footpaths and bridleways within the study area are generally situated along roadsides and access tracks to the north of the rail line, where they have views influenced by urban elements as well as road and rail infrastructure. Generally the footpaths and bridleway to the north-east of the study area in this section will have no views due to intervening urban elements and woodland. Footpaths to the west of this section will be directly affected by the proposed project as it passes to the south of the A12, although the cable will pass under the A12 via HDD routing. In this area there are two footpaths one which crosses an open field and the Fynn Valley Way, which follows the edge of a field which is open on one side and has partial hedgerow with gaps and mature trees to the other side. Both of these paths converge and pass under the A12 embankment via an underpass. Recreational users of the footpaths will have a medium susceptibility to change from the proposed project. The value of the views is assessed as medium. The overall sensitivity of users of the footpaths to the proposed project is considered to be medium.
94.
The onshore cable route traverses two minor roads between the HDD sections of the onshore cable route. Mature trees and hedgerows are situated at the side of the roads. Built and engineered elements are visible in most views from the roads.
