A detailed assessment of the potential effects of the proposed development on the prevailing landscape character and visual amenity has been taken.
The assessment considered the individual effects that may arise from the Wind Farm and the cumulative effects in combination with other existing and approved developments within the area.
Completed studies include the identification of the zone of theoretical visibility (ZTV) for the proposed development. A total of 23 representative viewpoints within the ZTV have been identified in consultation with Melton Borough Council. Specialist computer software have been used to generate a set of photomontage images that show how the Wind Farm would look from each of the viewpoints.
