Offshore construction and operational impacts could be scoped out for noise and vibration, with the exception of landfall activities and adjacent laying of export cables
Onshore construction phase and operational phase impacts require assessment

Scope Study Area
9.
The spatial extent of the study area is determined by the predicted noise levels of the construction activities and operation of the converter station at noise sensitive receptors. Noise sensitive receptors are identified based on proximity to noise sources and sensitivity to additional noise. Predicted noise levels are compared to existing noise levels at these receptors. Therefore, a receptor close to the project works within an existing environment of high noise levels may not be as affected as a receptor within an existing environment of low noise levels which is more distant from the project works.
10. Human and heritage receptors are considered within this assessment. While the focus is on residential locations, consideration is also given to effects on leisure, educational and healthcare facilities and commercial premises where appropriate.
Worst Case 11.
In considering the onshore noise impacts likely to arise from the construction, operation and decommissioning of the project, a conservative approach is taken to
