1.2 Structure of this Document 4.
In accordance with the way in which parts of the agendas for the OETG meetings are organised, this document provides separate sub-sections for offshore receptors (from low water mark out to the wind turbines) and onshore receptors (from low water mark at Bawdsey and within the Deben Estuary estuarine closing line to terrestrial along the onshore cable route).
