Distance measured from the closest point of the proposed project to the closest point of the SAC following the shortest sea route and rounded to the nearest kilometre. Primary reason for designation.
** Secondary reason for designation.
5.2.2.3 Proposed project effects (pathways) 83.
Given the distance of the sites listed in Table 5.2 from the proposed project and the nature of the effects upon the benthos and physical processes discussed above (i.e. any effects will be temporary, small scale and localised) it is considered that there will be no pathway for impacts upon the supporting habitats and processes of sites for migratory fish.
84.
There is potential for migratory fish to be present in the waters in and around the proposed project to be affected by the effects listed above. However, given the distances to designated sites and the location of the proposed project away from coastal waters it is considered that there would be no pathway for any significant impact upon migratory fish.
85.
As part of the Evidence Plan process for proposed project it was agreed by Cefas and Natural England (10th September 2013) that Annex 2 fish species would be screened out of the HRA process.
86.
To conclude there is no pathway for the proposed East Anglia THREE project to impact upon any Annex 2 fish species which have been designated under the Habitats Directive and therefore all SACs designated for Annex II fish species have been screened out from further assessment.
5.2.2.4 In-combination effects 87.
As there is no pathway for effects upon any sites designated for Annex II fish species from the proposed project in isolation, it is considered that there will be no pathway for any cumulative or in-combination effects.
