Landscape parks with a core of wood pasture
Location for mineral workings and related activity, especially in the Gipping valley
113. The onshore cable route in this section passes through approximately 3km of Ancient Rolling Farmlands LCT and approximately 2km of Rolling Estate Farmlands LCT. This is illustrated in Figure x.
114. The landscape in this section is gently rolling with large to medium sized fields. There is a sense of openness that relates to the large fields, limited enclosure and the relatively flat landscape.
115. Field patterns are irregular in formation with a mixture of angular boundaries formed from realigned older field patterns and more sinuous boundaries along roads, access tracks and watercourses, which often follow the natural contours. More medium sized fields are found around areas of settlement such as clusters of farm dwellings and loosely formed semi-rural settlements. This is most noticeable around Arkenham and echoes a more ancient field pattern and land-use, which included closes and meadows.
116. Hedgerows are intermittent along this section of the route with a mixture of intact boundaries and neglected boundaries with notable gaps. In some locations field boundaries are formed either from a grass verge or post and wire fencing. Bare earth is a frequent seasonal feature in ploughed fields.
117. A network of footpaths and minor roads provide access into the area which is predominantly experienced as a semi-rural landscape. Around Akenham, access is limited and only tracks access more remote farmsteads and properties. The A14 introduces a source of activity and noise to the western edge of this area, with its influence carrying across the surrounding landscape.
118. Settlement within the study area consists of large farmsteads and semi-rural dwellings. The settlement of Ipswich is visible in places and the settlement of Claydon is situated within the study area adjacent to the A14 to the west of the route. Overhead power lines form a prominent feature across this landscape and are visible from most locations within the study area. Views are generally of agricultural fields with scattered semi-rural dwellings and farmsteads frequently featuring as visible elements.

119. There are no landscape designations within this section and the character of the landscape is defined by the intensively farmed agricultural landscape. While a
