Offsite planting would also be provided for under the terms of a Section 106/111 agreement applying to an area around the Converter Station, in order to mitigate the residual visual impacts of the development.
Converter Station Onsite Landscaping – Cumulative Impacts with East Anglia THREE and FOUR
32
Further detail on cumulative impacts of the converter stations for converter stations for East Anglia THREE and FOUR will be presented in the applications for those future projects, and detail on mitigation required agreed would be agreed through their Development Consent Orders.
Converter Station Onsite Landscaping – Cumulative Impacts with National Grid Substation Infrastructure
33
The indicative plans for onsite landscaping mounding and planting presented in Document 9.5 (Outline Landscape Strategy) of the original application took into account cumulative impacts with the existing National Grid development at Bramford substation. In further developing the onsite landscaping mounding and planting in order to discharge Requirement 19, these indicative plans will be finalised, continuing to take into account the existing National Grid development.
34
Specifically in relation to the gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) building within the National Grid Bramford substation, it should be noted that National Grid are carrying forward mitigation for the landscape and visual impacts of that GIS building under their permitted development rights. EAOL understand that this mitigation may be, therefore, subject to continual change and not necessarily consulted upon by National Grid. As such, the planting proposed in EAOL‟s existing indicative onsite landscaping plans is complimentary in nature to the currently understood planting scheme proposed by National Grid to mitigate the impacts of the (GIS) building, but may not reflect ongoing changes which National Grid make to their mitigation at will.
35
Whilst the mitigation proposals for EAOL and National Grid are being undertaken separately and to different timescales, the two sets of mitigation proposals are based on achieving similar and complementary mitigation objectives, primarily by the implementation of „structure planting‟ to provide effective screen planting on bunding and at ground level.
