Provided a response with specific guidance on the scope of the assessment, requesting: the boundaries between categories of sensitivity and different magnitudes of effect are clearly defined; and cumulative and in-combination effects be considered. Impacts should include a full assessment of possible disturbance, change or removal of intertidal and terrestrial habitats along the cable route.

EIA in relation to the Onshore cable route will be based on one wintering season (2011/12). This does not align with standard practice of collecting 2 years of survey data in the context of the offshore EIA. WeBS counts for the survey area may provide sufficient justification in this instance. Welcome the plan to conduct one core (high water) count and one low tide count per sector per month; however the survey period should extend to cover September and October 2011 and March 2012 to align with WeBS core counts. Impacts should include

The details of assessing the impacts follows guidance by by the institute for Ecology and Environmental Management (IEEM) and is defined in Chapter 24 of the East Anglia ONE ES in Section 24.4. Where impacts are identified these are addressed in full in Section 24.6.
The assessment has been based on one season’s survey for the Onshore cable route due to the temporary nature of the construction works. This has been supplemented with WeBs data from the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). The surveys were undertaken from September 2011 to March 2012 for high tide counts and October 2011 to February 2012 for low tide counts. These timings are in line with the BTO WeBs count methods. Where impacts are identified these are addressed in full in the Chapter in
