19.2.1 Statement of Common Ground 8.
In addition to the consultation undertaken and detailed above, a Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) was produced for East Anglia ONE in July 2013 for Soils, Geology and Ground Condition. Consultees included SCC, MSDC, SCDC, Environment Agency and East Suffolk Internal Drainage Board. Natural England and Suffolk Wildlife Trust were consulted but had no comments. The matters agreed in the SoGC are outlined below and are relevant to East Anglia THREE as the projects follow the same route. These matters have been considered during the assessment process within this chapter. There were no disagreed matters which related to this chapter. Further details for the SoCG are provided in Appendix 23.3.
The parties agreed with the results of the assessment of impacts on Ground Conditions and Contamination on East Anglia ONE.
It was agreed that adherence to the requirements within the Development Consent and the documents specified therein would ensure the avoidance of significant impacts on Ground Conditions and Contamination from East Anglia ONE.
The parties agreed a condition to be inserted into the Deemed Marine Licence for East Anglia ONE which would facilitate appropriate monitoring and mitigation in relation to cliff stability and coastal processes.
It is agreed that there were no other outstanding matters not agreed with respect to Ground Conditions and Contamination in relation to the Project Application.
19.3 Scope
19.3.1 Study Area 9.
For the purpose of this assessment, and to aid the baseline descriptions, the following study areas have been defined to assess the direct and indirect impacts associated with the project. These areas are shown on Figure 19.1, and are described as:
Onshore electrical transmission works including access – this refers to the development footprint and encompasses the land within the red line boundary consisting of landfall location, onshore cable route and converter station location, as outlined in Chapter 5 Description of the Development. This area has been selected to be the largest area over which direct impacts would be experienced; and
Study area – this incorporates a 1km buffer around the direct impacts footprint where environmental receptors may be present but no physical works would take place therefore only indirect impacts apply.
10.
Although potential contaminative sources within 1km of the onshore electrical transmission works have been identified, based on current and historic land uses, it is acknowledged that, depending on the size and nature of the contaminative
