1 ONSHORE ARCHAEOLOGY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE 1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Project Background 1. Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by East Anglia THREE Limited (EATL) to carry out an Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Baseline Assessment, to be submitted as a Technical Appendix to an Environmental Statement, in support of a planning application for the onshore Development Area of the East Anglia THREE offshore windfarm (hereafter ‘the Site’, Figure 1). The Site makes landfall at Bawdsey, National Grid Reference (NGR) 653184, 239194 then proceeds westwards for around 37km to the converter station location at Bramford (NGR) 609508, 246080.
2.
The draft Development Consent Order (DCO) for the East Anglia ONE Offshore Windfarm comprises its offshore and onshore export cables, the converter station at Bramford and onshore cable ducts for the two further planned projects of East Anglia THREE and East Anglia FOUR. To minimise disruption to local communities and reduce environmental effects, it is hoped it will be possible to install this ducting at the same time as the cables are laid for East Anglia ONE. Cables for future projects would then be pulled through these ducts at a later date. However, this is subject to consent and so the scenario in which the East Anglia ONE project does not go ahead and East Anglia THREE installs its own cables and ducts for East Anglia FOUR must also be considered.
1.1.2 The Site 3.
The Site consists of the onshore electrical transmission works of the proposed East Anglia THREE offshore windfarm project, consisting of the onshore cable route and convertor stations. Additionally there are a number of temporary access routes and Construction Consolidation Sites (CSS) which may be required during construction works. The approximately 37km route makes landfall at Bawdsey before heading north-westerly across and along the River Deben, passing to the north of Ipswich and terminating at the convertor station location just to the west of Bramford.
4.
The eastern end of the route commences in the parish of Bawdsey, lying just to the south of the village and to the north of the mouth of the Deben. It then passes briefly through marshland within Alderton and Ramsholt parishes before crossing the Deben into Falkenham parish. It then passes through Kirton, straddles the boundary between Newbourne and Hemley and travels into Waldringfield parish before crossing Martlesham Creek in the parish of that name, just to the south of Woodbridge. After Woodbridge is passes through the parishes of Great and Little
