Design Principles and Recommendations 4.1 Good Design


26 As stated in the National Policy Statement EN-1, ‘good design is also a means by which impacts can be mitigated’. The proposed converter station building (s) at Bramford is likely to have some residual onshore impact and therefore the design, materials and massing of the proposed building as well as mitigation measures must demonstrate good design in respect of landscape and visual amenity.


4.2 Appearance and Design Principles


27 Table 1 outlines the specific design principles EAOL propose to carry forward through discharge of the Requirements within the Draft Development Consent Order.


28 These design principles have been informed by a set of initial principles proposed by Suffolk County Council and Mid Suffolk District Council, plus further discussion with Mid Suffolk District Council and Suffolk County Council. They have been strengthened in agreement with Suffolk County Council and Mid Suffolk District Council, following discussion on the principles during the Examination period of the EA ONE DCO.

Principle Appropriate building design and materials will be actively sought as part of the procurement process. EA ONE’s converter station must be sensitive to place, with visual impacts minimised as far as possible by the use of appropriate design, building materials, shape, layout, coloration and finishes.
