The identification of preferred corridors and routes for this proposed new transmission line has been carried out by assessing the landscape, visual, ecological and archaeological effects of the alternatives on behalf of Central Networks. Stephenson Halliday are working with Erinaceous Planning (formerly Dunlop Haywards), ecologists ERA Partnership and archaeologists Map Archaeological Consultancy on the Environmental Impact Assessment of this project, preparing an Environmental Statement for submission by the end of 2007. The identification and mitigation of landscape and visual effects within a study area which includes the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site forms the major part of the work, including the preparation of detailed visualisations in the form of photomontages to aid decision makers and inform the general public.
