Camilty Wind Farm gained. The proposed wind farm would be seen as a distinct addition to the landscape, with a backdrop of the Pentland Hills. The magnitude of change in these transient views would be medium, leading to Moderate effects. The accumulation of these sequential effects within this journey would be significant in terms of the methodology. The Cauldstane Slap/Old Drove Road/Thieves Road Heritage Footpath 9.5.146 Views of the proposed wind farm would be possible from approximately 2.5 km of this route as it descends from the ridge of the Pentland Hills. The most elevated views over the landscape would be gained from near the ridge as the path passes through the Cauldstane Slap pass between East and West Cairn Hills. The turbines would be visible in the landscape of conifer forests and farmland beyond the fringes of the regional Park. As the path descends, the foreground of steeply undulating moorland rises up to the left to conceal all but the tips of blades in most views of the proposed wind farm. Views partially open up east of Harperrig Reservoir, where the turbines would be visible beyond the expanse of water. The sensitivity of walkers would be high and the magnitude of change in view would be medium, leading to a Major effect, which is significant in terms of the ES methodology. Summary of Effects 9.5.147 Occupiers of four of the 18 residential properties within the local study area of approximately 2 km of the proposed wind farm would experience Moderate to Substantial adverse effects during the day, , which are considered to be significant. Walkers using core paths from the A70 to High Camilty and the A70 to the Pentland Hills would also experience significant effects. Occupiers of vehicles travelling in either direction on the A70 in close proximity to the site would experience significant adverse sequential effects during the day. Occupiers of trains travelling in both directions on the Lockerbie to Livingston railway would experience significant adverse sequential effects during the day. Significant sequential effects would also be experienced by walkers using the Cauldstane Slap/Old Drove Road/Thieves Road Heritage Footpath. Receptors at three of the 26 viewpoints assessed within the study area would experience significant adverse effects during the day. No visual receptors would experience significant night time effects on views. In addition, no significant adverse effects on landscape character would occur within the study area, including designated landscapes. Table 9.13 below identifies the 12 receptors, which would experience significant adverse effects.
