Embedded mitigation (i.e. design decisions taken which avoid or reduce particular types of impact) will be described in the ES. The impact assessment will take into account all embedded and other forms of mitigation that will be delivered.
4.1.6 Cumulative and In-combination Impacts 66.
67.
The ES will provide an assessment of the potential for cumulative impacts both within and outwith the East Anglia Zone.
The approach to the assessment of cumulative impacts on birds will follow the process that has been applied by Ministers when consenting offshore wind farms and confirmed in very recent consent decisions including for Galloper and Triton Knoll.
4.1.7 Transboundary 68.
It also follows the approach set out in recent guidance from PINS (Planning Inspectorate, 2012a) and from the renewables industry (renewableUK, 2013).
The potential for transboundary impacts will be identified by consideration of potential linkages to non-UK protected sites and sites with large concentrations of breeding, migratory or wintering birds (including by the use of available information on tagged birds).
4.2 Assessment Methodologies 69.
The following assessment methodologies will be discussed (based on a method statement or briefing for each provided by EAOL) at Ornithology ETG meeting 2:
