Dismantling and removal of electrical equipment from within the converter station buildings;
Removal of main converter building and minor services equipment; Demolition of the support buildings and removal of fencing; Landscaping and reinstatement of the site (including land drainage); and Removal of hard standing.
105. Whilst details regarding the decommissioning of the converter stations are currently unknown, considering the worst case scenario, which would be the removal and reinstatement of the current land use at the site, it is anticipated that the impacts would be similar those during construction, these impacts are listed in Table 19.21.
19.7 Cumulative Impacts
106. Potential cumulative impacts to land could arise from interaction with other developments within the vicinity of East Anglia THREE either temporally or spatially. Given that the soils, geology and ground condition impacts of East Anglia THREE mostly affect receptors within the onshore electrical transmission works, there is limited potential for interaction with any developments which do not have direct overlap with the proposed project. With regard to the receptors assessed in this chapter a potential for cumulative impact would only occur if those same receptors are affected. Whilst there may be additive cumulative impacts at the wider regional scale (e.g. several developments may affect the same drainage systems) these activities would be managed and mitigated in a similar way to impacts described above for East Anglia THREE and there would be few impacts.
107. A full list of projects that have been scoped into the cumulative impact assessment is provided in Table 19.19. These cover major known developments in the vicinity of the onshore electrical transmission works. The two key projects which have been identified as potentially causing cumulative impacts are the proposed East Anglia ONE and East Anglia FOUR projects which share the landfall and onshore cable route with the proposed East Anglia THREE project. These projects also propose to locate converter stations within close proximity of the converter station proposed for East Anglia THREE.
