22.6.1.6.2Onshore cable route 135. A number of public footpaths are crossed and therefore a number of temporary closures with diversions would be required along the onshore cable route. Impacts to PRoW are detailed in Table 22.3 in Appendix 22.2 and summarised below (see also Figures 22.6a-g).
136. The 10 cycle routes crossed by the onshore cable route are presented in Table 22.6 in Appendix 22.2 (see also Chapter 27 Traffic and Transport). None of the cycle routes would require closure, therefore there would be no impact upon them.
Scenario 1: Pre-installed ducts 137. The exact locations of the jointing locations for the pre-installed ducts would not be identified until the pre-construction stage; however the locations would be chosen to avoid PRoWs where possible. Any PRoWs that are crossed would have diversions put in place, avoiding any closure of PRoWs. The magnitude is therefore predicted to be negligible. This results in an impact significance of negligible.
Scenario 2: Trenching and installation of ducts 138. Under Scenario 2, 35 PRoWs would be temporarily affected during construction (see Table 22.3 in Appendix 22.2). Footpaths are considered to be of medium sensitivity while bridleways are considered to be of high sensitivity. All PRoWs would be diverted as agreed during the examination of the East Anglia ONE DCO application. Due to the short duration of the disturbance the magnitude of this impact is considered to be low. Therefore, the impact significance is predicted to be minor adverse.
22.6.1.6.3Converter station 139. Two PRoW at the converter station would require temporary closure and wouldf not be diverted (see Table 22.4 in Appendix 22.2). Due to the short duration of the closure the magnitude of this impact is considered to be low. Therefore, the impact significance is predicted to be minor adverse.
140. The nearest cycle route is approximately 500m north east of the converter station location and is assessed under the onshore cable route impact assessment above.
22.6.1.7 Impact 7: Impacts to utilities
22.6.1.7.1 Landfall, onshore cable route & converter station 141. The onshore cable route has been selected to avoid major utilities. In addition, EATL would commit to contacting potentially affected utility providers and identify the location of existing services on the ground prior to construction. EATL would undertake utility crossings or diversions in accordance with the appropriate
