It is recognised that any cable replacement works would have to follow the good practice to avoid disturbance to breeding Schedule 1 birds and non-breeding SPA and SSSI interest features of the Deben Estuary established by the Outline Landscape and Ecological Management Plan for East Anglia ONE.
3.2.3 During Decommissioning 50.
The potential impacts that have been included within the scope of the assessment are:
• Disturbance / Displacement 51.
It is likely that the jointing bays and ducts will be left in situ but the cables will be de- energised and removed and therefore this will be assessed in the EIA as the worst case. As a result, the potential effects of decommissioning are similar to those of the construction phase for the option where ducts will already have been installed during the installation of the cable for East Anglia ONE. This means that potential effects will be localised and occur over a short period. These potential effects are not considered to be of a scale and nature to require screening in for assessment.

3.2.4 Impacts Scoped Out 53. As identified above, potential impacts during the operational phase and during the decommissioning phase on onshore ornithology receptors have been scoped out.
3.3 Proposed Action / Agreement 54.
It is expected that:
• The types of potential impact to be assessed in relation to offshore and onshore receptors to be discussed and agreed in ETG meeting 1.
• The types of potential impact that will be scoped out from further assessment in relation to offshore and onshore receptors to be discussed and agreed in ETG meeting 1. At present this relates only to potential impacts of the onshore component of the development.
