Field pattern been excluded from consideration in Battery Storage developments and substations (although considered for Solar PV developments). When green infrastructure is an important consideration in siting proposed developments, field patterns should be a factor. Battery Storage should consider being sited within an existing field pattern.
Skylines are omitted from consideration for Solar PV and Battery Storage developments. This should also be considered. Solar farms in more open locations can impact skylines. Skylines near proposed Solar PV and Battery Storage developments usually contain pylons and overhead lines as part of the baseline and should be considered.
