the direction of the sea towards one’s eyes would naturally be drawn.
• The wind farm will appear relatively close from this viewpoint, because the intervening landscape has weak perspective depth:
The foreground is featureless open grassland, and the middle-ground of farm buildings, hummocky dune landforms and pine
shelter belts is not visually distinctive. However, the bases of the turbines are behind the middle-ground features which do
provide some perspective.

• Overall, the wind farm will be a prominent landmark from this location, but it will appear in scale with the landscape and will not
be out of place with its productive rural character.

The ‘east envelope’ is a similar distance to the nearest turbines.

The turbines appear to have a similar density, although slightly less depth.
