Listed and proposed Ramsar sites (internationally important wetlands designated under the Ramsar Convention 1971): HRA process applied as a result of UK Government policy (ODPM & Defra 2005; DCLG 2012).
3.2.6 In-combination Assessment 22.
The Habitats Regulations and the Offshore Regulations require the consideration of the potential effects of a project on European sites (and on Ramsar sites as a matter of Government policy) both alone and in-combination with other plans or projects.
23.
The identification of plans and projects to include in the in-combination assessment has been based on:
Approved plans; Constructed projects; Approved but as yet unconstructed projects; and
Projects for which an application has been made, are currently under consideration and will be consented before the proposed East Anglia THREE project.
24.
The types of projects that could potentially be considered for the in-combination assessment include:
Offshore windfarms; Onshore windfarms; Marine aggregate extraction; Oil and gas exploration and extraction; Sub-sea cables and pipelines; Commercial shipping; Recreational boating; Commercial marine fishing activity; Recreational marine fishing activity; and Onshore major residential, commercial and industrial development.
25.
The approach EATL will take to the selection of projects to include in the in- combination assessment is discussed in Section 3.4.
