Wind Turbine LVIA, East Yorkshire
LVIA, ZTV and photomontages for a single 113 m wind turbine on open farmland.
The project
A single wind turbine of 113 m tip height on open arable farmland. Within a flat and open landscape, a structure of this height cannot be screened by planting, so the assessment needed to set out the extent and significance of visibility clearly and proportionately.
What we did
Undertook ZTV analysis to define an 8 km study area and direct fieldwork
Verified visibility in the field and selected ten representative viewpoints, focusing on public rights of way, local roads and nearby settlements
Captured viewpoint photography to LI TGN 06/19 and produced existing and proposed photomontages for all ten viewpoints in house
Assessed effects on landscape character, the site and each representative view at Year 1 and Year 15 in accordance with GLVIA3
Advised on appropriate mitigation for a tall structure, focusing on siting, minimising the development footprint, retaining existing landscape features and reinstating construction areas
