211. Table 29.6 shows that the potential for significant cumulative impacts arises in relation to the East Anglia ONE and East Anglia FOUR projects but none of the other projects.


212. The cumulative scenario of East Anglia THREE project being added to a cumulative baseline comprising East Anglia ONE project constitutes Scenario 1, which has been assessed in detail in sections 29.2, 29.3 and 29.4. The remaining cumulative scenarios which require detailed assessment include:


• •


Cumulative scenario 1: East Anglia THREE converter station in conjunction with East Anglia ONE and FOUR converter stations; and


Cumulative scenario 2: East Anglia THREE converter station in conjunction with East Anglia FOUR converter station.


213. These cumulative scenarios are assessed at the construction, operation and decommissioning phases of the East Anglia THREE project, considering the impacts on physical elements, landscape character and visual amenity.


214. Table 29.7 below provides an initial assessment of the potential for cumulative impacts to arise in relation to the representative viewpoints. Many of the viewpoints are discounted from the detailed cumulative assessment owing to the limited extents to which the East Anglia THREE converter station, or the East Anglia ONE and FOUR converter stations are visible, either as a result of distance, the screening effect of intervening woodland or the screening effect of the converter stations of one another. In these instances, the impacts are assessed as not significant. The shaded cells in the table indicate which viewpoints and cumulative scenarios are to be assessed in detail.

Cumulative Scenario 1


VP 1- Offton Road, near Elmsett Village


East Anglia THREE and FOUR converter stations distant and partially screened by intervening woodland.


VP2 – Flowton Village East Anglia THREE converter station partially screened and East Anglia FOUR converter station fully screened by intervening woodland.


VP3 –Flowton to Burstallhill Minor Road


East Anglia FOUR converter station largely screened by intervening woodland.


VP4 – Minor Road to East Anglia THREE and FOUR


Preliminary Environmental Information May 2014


Cumulative Scenario 2


East Anglia THREE, ONE and FOUR converter stations distant and partially screened by intervening woodland.


East Anglia THREE and ONE converter stations partially screened and East Anglia FOUR converter station fully screened by intervening woodland.


East Anglia THREE, ONE and FOUR converter stations partially screened by intervening woodland.
