December 2012 / East Anglia THREE Scoping Opinion
The Netherlands are in the process of designating two wind areas; Hollandse kust and Ten Noorden van de Waddeneilanden. These zones currently hold the status of ‘search area’ for offshore wind in the National Water policy Plan. This means that there is a process assessing the possibility for wind parks in that area. “We are planning to designate wind areas within these search areas at the end of 2013. During the process of designating these areas, we will contact the British Authorities within the framework of the EIA consultation have past that stage already and currently hold the status of development zone.”

December 2012 / East Anglia THREE Scoping Opinion
The construction of the East Anglia offshore windfarm with the presence of and construction of future offshore wind farms in the region (such as other round 3 offshore wind farms in the UK and wind farms planned in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands) may result in significant cumulative ecological impacts. The Dutch government is starting to seek common grounds with UK governmental authorities to discuss how cumulative impacts should be taken into account. This might influence future developments of wind farms in a broader context.
These areas were designated 2013 and are now undergoing consultation before they are presented as part of the "wind energie vision at sea" to parliament in Q2 2014. These sites are considered in section 18.9. However there are no transboundary impacts predicted for infrastructure and other users.
Cumulative impacts (including consideration windfarms outside of UK waters) to Benthic Ecology, Fish and Shellfish, MarineMammals and Ornithology are considered in chapters 10, 11,12 and 13 within this PEIR
