NPS-guidance in relation to the historic environment


EN-3 Paragraph 2.6.142 states that “the assessment should also include the identification of any beneficial effects on the historic marine environment, for example through improved access or the contribution to new knowledge that arises from investigation.”


EN-3 Paragraph 2.6.143 also requires that “where elements of an application (whether offshore or onshore) interact with features of historic maritime significance that are located onshore, the effects should be assessed in accordance with the policy at Section 5.8 of EN-1.”

East Anglia THREE assessment


Any beneficial effects to the offshore archaeology and cultural heritage resource resulting from the proposed East Anglia THREE development have been identified and incorporated as part of section 17.6, Potential Impacts.


Potential impacts of the proposed offshore development upon onshore heritage assets have been considered in Chapter 25 Onshore Archaeology and Cultural Heritage.


The offshore archaeology and cultural heritage environmental baseline includes a description of known archaeological receptors and a summary of the potential archaeological resource with the Study Area defined below. As identified in the UK Marine Policy Statement, the existence and location of many heritage assets are often unknown prior to investigation. As such, it is required that an assessment of the likely presence of these potential archaeological receptors is undertaken. The full assessment of potential is included as an appendix along with the geophysical assessment technical report and a gazetteer of receptors.
