Broadly Acceptable Region


Description


Generally regarded as insignificant and adequately controlled. Nonetheless the law requires further risk reductions if it is reasonably practicable. However, at these levels the opportunity for further risk reduction is much more limited.


Typical of the risks from activities which people are prepared to tolerate to secure benefits. There is however an expectation that such risks are properly assessed, appropriate control measures are in place, residual risks are as low as is reasonably practicable (ALARP) and that risks are periodically reviewed to see if further controls are appropriate.


Unacceptable Region (High Risk)


39.


Generally regarded as unacceptable whatever the level of benefit associated with the activity.


It is important to note that this assessment of risks is qualitative and for the


purposes of the EIA only. It is recognised that there is currently no legal mechanism to restrict access to the area occupied by the proposed East Anglia THREE project, therefore it will be the responsibility of skippers to carry out their own safety assessment based on their vessel and level of experience.


14.4.4 Cumulative Impact Assessment In addition to the methodology outlined in Chapter 6: Environmental Impact


40.


AssessmentMethodology, the cumulative assessment approach adopted takes account of the following:





For the assessment of impacts on commercially exploited fish and shellfish populations, cumulative effects can only occur if a significant impact is identified for fish and shellfish receptors (including species of commercial interest) within Chapter 11 Fish and Shellfish Ecology.





Only those fisheries stakeholder groups with activity recorded within or close to the East Anglia THREE site and / or along the offshore cable corridor could potentially sustain a cumulative impact in relation to the proposed East Anglia THREE project.





Only impacts assessed as significant resulting from the construction and operation of the proposed East Anglia THREE project have the potential to contribute to cumulative effects.
