Planning Inspectorate on behalf of the Secretary of State (SoS)
November 2012 / East Anglia THREE Scoping Opinion
The SoS recommends that the assessment considers the potential significance of the impacts of the proposed development within a local context, and a regional context beyond that of the administrative boundary in which the proposed development is located. The types and number of jobs generated should be considered in the context of the available workforce in the area. Information should be provided on worker accommodation and include an assessment of the potential impacts of the influx of workers. The cumulative impact of workers from other nearby major projects should also be assessed.
Details of the construction methods, working hours and duration of works should be provided in the ES. Cross-reference should bemade to the traffic and transport assessment and any impacts the onshore works may have on public transport, including consideration of potential works to existing and new access roads (if required) to the converter station.
Recreational impacts associated with the coastline in the vicinity of the cable landfall should be assessed including the possible effects on beach areas, PRoW and bathing water quality.
Cross-reference should be made in this chapter of the ES to any visual impacts on public rights of way (PROW) identified in the seascape, landscape and visual amenity assessments.
Consideration should be given as to what impact the use of tourist accommodation for the mobile workforce would have in the short, medium and long term situation for the local tourist industry.
Socio-economic impacts in this chapter are considered at a local and regional context. Impacts related to the offshore elements of the proposed project at these levels will be assessed in the final ES for the proposed East Anglia THREE project. In the final ES, a labour market absorption analysis will be carried out to determine how readily the local labour market is able to absorb the jobs generated.
The types of jobs created for the onshore element are considered at a regional and wider context in this chapter. An assessment of the potential accommodation locations for in-migrant workers related to the onshore elements has been carried out in the Potential Impacts section of this chapter. This assessment is based upon an accommodation survey carried out for the East Anglia ONE project.
A comprehensive cumulative impact assessment will be prepared for the ES chapter. This will take account of the potential positive and negative impacts of constructing East Anglia THREE in the same construction period as other major infrastructure projects in the area.
An assessment of tourism and recreational impacts including impacts on PRoW and the coastline, are
