28.5.5 Mitigation Measures 27.
The classification of significant adverse impacts is detailed in section 28.5.7. Where impacts are assessed as significant adverse, mitigation measures are outlined. As with impact identification, mitigation measures are provided to address construction, operation and decommissioning impacts.
28.5.6 Conclusions on Cumulative and Residual Effects 28.
An assessment of likely cumulative and residual effects will be provided in the final ES for the proposed East Anglia THREE project, stating the likely cumulative impacts of the proposed project with other projects in the study area or beyond; and in what way, if at all, the proposed project would have post-mitigated or residual effects on its local and wider socio-economic context.
28.5.7 Sensitivity, Magnitude and Significance Criteria 29.
30.
Impact significance is defined by the combination of the sensitivity of receptors and the potential magnitude of impacts on them.
The criteria below are specific to socio-economic factors and will be adopted to assess receptor sensitivity and impact magnitude, as shown in Table 28.2.
28.5.7.1 Determining Sensitivity of Socio-Economic Receptor 31.
For economic impacts and effects (including employment), the availability of labour and skills is critical in accommodating the demands, needs and requirements of the proposed project.
32.
The key socio-economic indicators for the labour market study area are reflected in the criteria including:
The proportion of skilled workforce in the study area relative to national averages;
Educational attainment levels in relation to national averages; The proportion of employment in relevant sectors (i.e. manufacturing and construction workers);
The availability of labour (including the unemployed workforce); and Relevant education and training provision, including existing and proposed programmes provided by institutions serving the study area.
