39. Where possible, data from the sources outlined above were analysed and synthesised to create project gazetteers (Appendix 17.3), providing a baseline context for the known and potential archaeological resource within the Study Area.


17.4.3 Impact Assessment Methodology


17.4.3.1 Introduction 40.


The impact assessment was carried out in accordance with the methodology set out in Chapter 6 Environmental Impact Assessment Methodology. This section details the PEIR methodology used to determine the significance of the impacts of sea bed preparation, construction, operation and decommissioning activities of the proposed East Anglia THREE project on cultural heritage receptors. The assessment criteria and assignment of significance with respect to archaeology and cultural heritage concerns are based on available standards and guidance (COWRIE 2007 and COWRIE 2008), best practice, consultation and on professional judgement. This process considers the following:


   


41.


The sensitivity of a receptor to an effect; The value of a receptor;


The magnitude of effect; and, The criteria used to determine the impact significance.


The assessment approach adopts the conceptual ‘source-pathway-receptor’ model, the parameters of which are defined in Chapter 6 Environmental Impact Assessment Methodology. The types of impacts could be described as direct, indirect and cumulative, and are defined as follows:


 


Direct impacts: these arise from impacts associated with the construction, operation or decommissioning of the Project;


Indirect impacts: these may be experienced by a receptor that is removed (in space or time) from the direct impact. These equate to inter-relationships; and,





Cumulative impacts: these can occur as a result of the Project in conjunction with other, existing or planned offshore windfarms or other planned marine and coastal developments or activities.
