Dorset AONB: Visual Impact Provision 6 May 2016 Scoping Report 1 Introduction Proposed Scheme Overview 1.1 National Grid is seeking a Scoping Opinion from West Dorset District Council to underground a section of the existing 4YA overhead line (OHL) (hereafter referred to as the ‘Visual Impact Provision (VIP) subsection’) within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). 1.2 The undergrounding of the VIP subsection includes the following main elements that comprise the ‘proposed scheme’ (details are presented in Chapter 2): Construction of two new sealing end compounds (SECs) and associated replacement terminal pylons including permanent access, required to connect the new underground cables to the remaining existing OHL; Underground cabling of approximately 7km (depending on location of SECs and route of cable alignment); and Removal of the existing VIP subsection including approximately 18 pylons and 7km of OHL (depending on location of SEC). 1.3 This stakeholder driven proposed scheme forms part of the wider VIP project. Ofgem and National Grid have agreed a new set of price controls and incentives for the period from April 2013 to March 2021. This includes a provision of £500 million for electricity transmission owners to mitigate the visual impact of existing electricity infrastructure in nationally protected landscapes in Great Britain. For National Grid, which is the transmission owner in England and Wales, this means considering the effects of existing infrastructure on the visual amenity and landscapes of National Parks and AONBs. 1.4 Following the results of a landscape and visual impact assessment in 2014, covering all 571km of OHL within the scope of the VIP project, those sections of OHL which had the greatest visual impact on the surrounding landscape were identified. In September 2015, a Stakeholder Advisory Group (consisting of stakeholders with national remits for England and Wales) decided that four sections of OHL should be prioritised for detailed assessment. 1.5 The locations chosen are Dorset 4YA, New Forest 4YB, Peak District 4ZO and Snowdonia 4ZC. All sections were proposed as underground solutions, with Snowdonia having the potential for a cable tunnel if no direct bury option exists. VIP Subsection and Overview of Area 1.6 The existing 4YA route is part of the 400kV OHL route connecting Axminster, Chickerell and Exeter 400kV substations. The OHL was constructed between 1965 and 1969 and is of standard lattice pylon design with quad conductor bundles and has fibre optic wrapped earth wire. The location of the National Grid 4YA OHL and the VIP subsection in relation to the Dorset AONB boundary are shown in Figure 1.1. 1.7 The focus of the VIP project is on the mitigation of landscape and visual impacts, and the assessment of these impacts is set out in the landscape and visual impact assessment Technical Report (National Grid, 2014). The OHL in this area is judged to have: Dorset AONB: Visual Impact Provision 7 May 2016 Scoping Report landscape impacts of high importance particularly where it crosses through a small valley close to Winterbourne Abbas. This and other small valleys in the downland are more susceptible to the impacts of the OHL, while the open nature of the downland means that the impact extends across a large geographical area; visual impacts of high importance affecting users of the National Cycle Route and South Dorset Ridgeway, users of local footpaths and access land, and visitors to the landmark Hardy Monument. The OHL passes close to Winterbourne Abbas and is prominent above the settlement. Two steel pylon distributor OHLs flank the transmission OHL south of Winterbourne Abbas, and the smaller size of these pylons emphasise the height of the transmission pylons in views. There is a high scale of impact where the OHL crosses over the National Cycle Route. 1.8 The VIP subsection runs from a point north-west of Winterbourne Abbas, cutting across the A35 and south of Winterbourne Abbas in a south-easterly direction. It then turns slightly south, across the upper slopes of Corton Down on the South Dorset Escarpment, to lower ground south of Friar Waddon Hill. The VIP subsection is approximately 7km in length. 1.9 The ‘search area for permanent development’ (hereafter referred to as the ‘search area’) broadly follows the alignment of the VIP subsection as shown in the site identification drawing (see Figure 1.2). Based on current knowledge, this overall search area has been drawn sufficiently wide enough to take account of potential route alignment options, a preferred option which will be confirmed following further site visits, engineering and environmental studies and discussions with stakeholders.

  • The Team Rector Writes
    The Team Rector Writes... Dear Friends, When Bishop Nicholas visited the deaneries of the Diocese during Lent 2015 to develop our conversation around the vision RENEWING HOPE – PRAY, SERVE, GROW, he challenged us with three questions: What do you pray for? Whom do we serve? How will you grow? Questions that might at a first glance seem easy to answer: I want to encourage you to take time this Advent to look at those questions and allow yourselves to be more challenged than you expect! Advent and Christmas are seasons for the renewing of hope and I wonder whether we might try sharing our stories of hope with each other, as we seek to tell the greatest story of hope? At the start of diocesan meetings we now spend time sharing our stories of hope, talking about the things that have given us hope recently. First a candle is lit as the centre of the meeting – symbol of Christ’s presence in our midst; the Bible is read and studied; then people tell one another their stories. Simple but profound and challenging too! It is easy to be busy and preoccupied by the needs and demands of the day, especially in preparation for Christmas! But how life giving and holy it is to seek out and name those moments when hope has erupted. For some Christmas is unbounded joy and excitement, for others it is painful and troubling. However, it is the moment when we reflect on the truth that God became a human being; forever to experience our joys and sorrows alongside us.

Dorset Heaths Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
