2004-2012, Greater Wash Offshore Wind Farm, Scoping Cumulative Effects

Scoping of the assessment techniques for cumulative and in combination impacts on round 2 sites from round 1 activites and other marine activites within the Greater Wash. Each environmental parameter was considered for the potential for a cumulative effect to arise due to the establishment of a number of wind farms in the Greater Wash area and, subsequently, how those effects should be assessed. The effects studied in the reports are: Navigation and Shipping, Commercial Fisheries, Natural Fishery Resource, Ornithology, Cetaceans and Marine Mamals, Landscape and Visual Character, Coastal Processes and Geomorphology, Socio-economic Effects, and Effects from Other Plans, Projects or Uses. It is proposed that cumulative effect studies are undertaken on a site specific basis and included as part of the EIA submission based on the criteria in the report.
