turbines might take place (supply-chain issues) and how the on-going servicing of offshore wind turbines will be undertaken.
(f) Decommissioning – the EIA should address the decommissioning and the impacts on both the onshore and offshore environment.
In addition to the above comments Norfolk County Council has prepared a Standard Pro- forma covering offshore wind farms setting out in general terms the issues, which will need to be considered in any EIA/Environmental Statement (Appendix):
It would be helpful if the EIA/PEIR could provide accurate figures of those likely to be employed both during construction and once the Wind Farm is fully operational. There should also be a statement as to whether the labour would be sourced from local firms or if expertise would need to be imported to the region. In addition the ES should provide an indication of the likely impact on the local fishing industry particularly when other proposals are taken into account.

03/04/2014 In regard of study area definition should this read 'construction workers'?Would there be a difference for operation (may be smaller study area for operational workers?)
Also not sure that using ports is relevant to the onshore construction - perhaps use the Primary Construction Consolidation Site as point of destination
In terms of tourism and recreation impact, main focus in operation should be around the converter station.
Suggest that the study area is broadened to a 3km radius of the converter station to align with the landscape/visual
Could look at any data available from Greater Gabbard in particular which is in operation and will

Study area chosen is sufficient to cover both construction and operational workers. Information not currently available to differentiate.
Woodbridge has been chosen as point of destination for onshore construction. This is because Woodbridge is assumed as the centre point of drive time catchments as the location is the mid-point of the cable corridor from the landfall point at Bawdsey to the Bramford grid point.
The impact of the converter station is fully considered in the tourismand recreation impact
