1.1 Purpose of this Document 1.


East Anglia THREE Limited (EATL), a subsidiary of East Anglia Offshore Wind Limited which is a joint venture between ScottishPower Renewables and Vattenfall Wind Power Limited, intends to develop and construct a new offshore windfarm within an area of the North Sea off the coast of East Anglia, known as the East Anglia Zone. This windfarm is identified as the proposed East Anglia THREE project.


2.


The East Anglia Zone is being developed as a number of individual windfarms, each of which will require the appropriate statutory consents and approvals. East Anglia ONE Offshore Windfarm was the first to be proposed within the East Anglia Zone and consent was granted by the Secretary of State on 17th June 2014.


3.


This report is the Phase III Report, which provides an update on changes in project design since the previous consultation and likely implications for assessments within the Environmental Statement (ES) for the proposed East Anglia THREE project.


4.


The main updates to the proposed East Anglia THREE project included as part of this Phase III Consultation are detailed in Section 2 of this report and include:


 The removal of Scenario 2 (trenching of the onshore cables, rather than pulling through pre-laid ducting (Scenario 1));


 A Single Phased and Two Phased approach to construction of the windfarm; and


 Other project description updates. 5.


Phase III Consultation follows on fromthe previous Phase I Consultation and Phase II Consultation. Phase I Consultation (section 47 consultation) consisted of the Statement of Community Consultation (SoCC) which was presented to stakeholders in September 2013. Phase II Consultation consisted of the Preliminary Environmental Information Report (PEIR) which was presented for stakeholder consultation in May 2014, and an update to the onshore accesses presented in August 2014. The different phases of consultation are further explained in section 1.2 below.
