Aquaculture Science (Cefas) in September 2013 as part of the Evidence Plan process (an explanation of the Evidence Plan process is provided in section 6.10 of Chapter 6 EIA methodology). That document provided a Method Statement for the assessment of potential effects on the baseline marine geology, oceanography and physical processes from the proposed East Anglia THREE project and is provided for reference in Appendix 7.1 of this PEIR.
15.
The Physical Processes Background Paper (Appendix 7.1) was discussed by EATL, Royal HaskoningDHV, Cefas and Natural England at a meeting on 13th September 2013 and has since been amended and mutually agreed as a proportionate means of assessing the potential effects on the baseline physical environment within the PEIR. A further Evidence Plan meeting between EATL, Royal HaskoningDHV, Cefas and Natural England is in the process of being scheduled for June 2014, after PEIR submission, to discuss the findings of the assessment.

Comment
Both organisations are content with an expert judgement based approach (i.e. no need for project-specific modelling) because of the strong evidence base that is in place from previous detailed assessments for the East Anglia Zone Environmental Appraisal and the Environmental Statement for the proposed East Anglia ONE project, subject to benthic and fish experts within Cefas and Natural England also being content with this approach.
Cefas and Natural England
Meeting 13/09/2013
Both organisations are content that the work previously undertaken for the offshore cable corridor and cable landfall proposed for the East Anglia ONE project is re- evaluated in the context of different timings of construction/ decommissioning for the proposed East Anglia THREE project, given that installation approaches and cable corridor will be identical near to shore and at the landfall.
Cefas and Natural England
Meeting 13/09/2013
Both organisations are content that the assessment of effects on the wave and current regimes should draw from the well- established evidence base that exists across the offshore windfarm industry.
