1 Ecological Mitigation Plan for SPA Non-breeding Birds and Schedule 1 Breeding Birds
1.1 Introduction 1.
This Ecological Mitigation Plan (EcMP) for SPA and Schedule 1 Birds forms part of the overall Outline Landscape and Ecological Management Plan (LEcMP) for the onshore cable route of the East Anglia ONE offshore wind farm. The production of such a plan is requirement of the [draft] Development Consent Order (DCO). The LEcMP sits within the Code of Construction Practice (CoCP), itself a requirement of the [draft] DCO.
2. This part of the LEcMP is targeted at birds that are the Deben Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA) interest features and birds that are listed on Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (WCA). These two groups of birds are addressed together in this part of the LEcMP to ensure that the mitigation actions targeted at one particular bird species do not conflict with the requirements of another.
3. This plan is supported by the following Appendices Appendix 1:
Appendix 2: Appendix 3: Appendix 4: Appendix 5: Brent Goose distribution in the winter of 2011-12 Avocet distribution in the winter of 2011-12 Area of Potential Nesting Marsh Harrier Habitats
Cetti's Warbler Activity and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Location: Martlesham Creek
Cetti's Warbler Activity and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Location: Wetland on Mill River south of Hemley
1.2 Objective of the EcMP for SPA and Schedule 1 Birds
4. The objectives of this EcMP is to ensure that measures are taken to avoid or minimise impacts on those birds that are interest features of the Deben Estuary SPA and Schedule 1 Birds during the construction phase of the onshore electrical transmission works of East Anglia ONE. It details mitigation measures to reduce the impact on Deben Estuary SPA birds, in particular dark bellied brent geese, that ensures no effect on the integrity of the site should an Appropriate Assessment have been required as part of the Habitat Regulations Assessment process.
