1.2 Consultation
1.2.1 Statutory Requirement 6.
Under Section 42 of the Planning Act 2008 (as amended by the Localism Act 2011), EATL has a duty to consult certain bodies about the Development Consent Order (DCO) application for the proposed East Anglia THREE project. Under Section 47 of the Act, EATL is required to consult the local community, and to draw up a statement explaining how it intends to carry out consultation with the people who live in the vicinity of the land intended for development. Under Section 48 of the Act, EATL is required to publish a notice of the proposed DCO application in local and national newspapers and the London Gazette. In addition, where the proposal is for an offshore windfarm, the notice must also be advertised in an appropriate fishing trade journal and Lloyd's List. Under Section 49, EATL has a duty to have regard to any ‘relevant responses’ received as a result of the statutory consultation and publicity conducted pursuant to Sections 42, 47 and 48 outlined above.
1.2.2 Phase I Consultation 7.
A SoCC was formally published in September 2013, incorporating comments provided by Local Authorities (Suffolk County Council, Mid Suffolk District Council and Suffolk Coastal District Council) and the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), highlighting the consultation process, timeline and approach for contacting consultees. Public Information Days (PIDs) were held in October 2013 to enable the public to better understand the contents of and purpose of the SoCC and EATL’s approach to consultation.
1.2.3 Phase IIa Consultation 8.
Phase IIa Consultation included a round of consultation on the PEIR in May 2014 which outlined the process for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the structure of the ES and the potential likely impacts as a result of the project. Site notices were placed in the local area in advance of the PIDs which were held in June 2014 at Woodbridge, Bawdsey and Burstall. The PEIR, and associated documents, were also made available on the East Anglia THREE website (EATL 2014).
1.2.4 Phase IIb Consultation 9.
Phase IIb Consultation in August 2014 focused on a number of different options (from those outlined in the PEIR) for how construction traffic would gain access to the Onshore Cable Route. Phase IIb Consultation included targeted letters to stakeholders, with revised maps showing the proposed new accesses and additional land required for the proposed East Anglia THREE project, in relation to that previously consulted upon in the Phase IIa Consultation and for the East Anglia ONE
