Aviation (i.e. helicopter) safety issues.
114. Issues arising from navigational safety and aviation are dealt with in Chapter 15 Shipping and Navigation and Chapter 16 Aviation and MOD, respectively.
115. The East Anglia THREE site is situated adjacent to Dutch territorial waters, where a number of offshore windfarm developments are proposed. The East Anglia THREE site is located near four Dutch offshore windfarms which are planned for development (Tromp Brenan, Den Helder I, Brown Ridge Oost and Breeveertien II), the closest of which, Brown Ridge Oost, is situated 26kmfrom the East Anglia THREE site. All four of the Dutch windfarms have been given consent for development, however, no construction dates for any of these windfarms have been set.
116. Given the separation distance of 26km between East Anglia THREE site and the nearest European windfarm and the lack of spatial overlap between proposed projects, the sensitivity of the receptors and magnitude effect are predicted to be negligible, therefore the significance of the impact is anticipated to be negligible.
117. With regard to increased pressure on port facilities, it is not possible at this time to determine pathways for impact as the construction port(s) for East Anglia THREE have yet to be determined. Effects will be specific to the port(s) in question. In addition, part of the selection and procurement process for the port(s) chosen for the construction phase of East Anglia THREE will take into account capacities and schedules to determine feasibility of their being able to adequately resource the requirements of East Anglia THREE.
118. During its operation, it is unlikely that East Anglia THREE will impact on European windfarm and renewable energy developments given that they are all located more than 26km east of the proposed East Anglia THREE project. Therefore, the sensitivity and magnitude of the receptor is predicted to be negligible, and the impact to be of negligible significance.
