The approach to the HRA will follow the staged approach set out in existing procedural guidance (European Commission, 2001; DCLG, 2006; Planning Inspectorate, 2012b ), involving the key steps of:
The assessment will be carried out on the project alone and in-combination with other plans and projects.
73. With regard to the in-combination assessment and the approach to project selection for assessment, this follows available industry guidance which supports the concept of taking a clear and practical approach to in-combination assessment and the incorporation of information only where there is a reasonable degree of certainty.
also follows 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.
5.2 HRA Specific Methods 74.
There are some specific methods that apply to HRA that are not used in EIA either because they relate specifically to the assessment of European and Ramsar sites or because NE and / or JNCC have produced specific guidance that relates only to HRA. Such HRA specific methods will be discussed (based on a method statement or briefing for each provided by EAOL) at Ornithology ETG meeting 2. Those that have been identified are:
• Apportionment to SPAs • Biologically Defined Minimum Population Scale
75.
The current existence of guidance on other HRA specific methods and the prospects of NE and / or JNCC producing revised or new guidance on HRA specific methods in a timescale relevant to East Anglia THREE and East Anglia FOUR will be discussed at Ornithology ETG meeting 1.
