standards for such crossings or works. Therefore, no impacts associated with existing utilities are anticipated during the construction for either scenario.


22.6.1.8 Impact 8: Impacts to open access or common land


22.6.1.8.1 Landfall and onshore cable route 142. One area of open access land or common land has been identified adjacent to the landfall, however access to this area would not be restricted and therefore no impact is predicted.


143. A small area of open access land is located adjacent to the onshore cable route on the southern edge of Woodbridge (Figure 22.6d), along the railway line. The parcel of land is accessible from a road to the east, while the onshore cable route is to the west of the open access land. No PRoWs join the open access land from the direction of the onshore cable route. Therefore users of the land are unlikely to be affected in terms of access and no impact is predicted.


22.6.1.8.2Converter station 144. No areas of open access land or common land have been identified within or adjacent to the converter station location, therefore no impacts are predicted.


22.6.1.9 Impact 9: Impacts from Electromagnetic Fields Potential impacts of EMF are considered during the operational phase. See section 22.6.3 for the impact assessment.


22.6.2 Potential Impacts during Operation 145. This section describes the potential impacts arising during the operational phase of East Anglia THREE. Reference should also be made to Chapter 5 Description of the Development for full details of the operational phase.


146. The differences between Scenarios 1 and 2 of cable installation are related to the construction phase only, and therefore the impact assessment for operation is the same regardless of installation methodology. The only difference would be the number of jointing locations required: up to 61 with Scenario 1 and up to 48 under Scenario 2 as discussed in Chapter 5 Description of the Development.


147. Suitable maintenance (typically 5 years) of any newly planted sections of hedgerow, shelterbelts and woodlands will occur following construction.


22.6.2.1 Impact 1: Permanent change to land use 148. A 55m permanent easement would be required for future maintenance of the onshore cable along the entire onshore cable corridor. Within the easement,
