197. In addition to the receptor groups listed in Table 7.16, there are other potential changes to the baseline marine geology, oceanography and physical processes associated with the proposed East Anglia THREE project which may manifest themselves as impacts upon a wider grouping of receptors. These include water quality, benthic ecology, fisheries and navigation.


198. In respect of these effects on the baseline marine geology, oceanography and physical processes, this section assesses the magnitude of change only. The assessments of the significance of impacts arising from these effects or changes on other receptors are made within the relevant chapters of this PEIR pertaining directly to those receptor types.


7.6.1 Potential Impacts during Construction 199. During the construction phase of the proposed East Anglia THREE development, there would be potential for wind turbine, foundation and cable installation
