Aims, Objectives and Compliance Aims and Objectives


The aim of this Strategy is to outline the requirement for landscape and ecological mitigation and enhancement measures that are reflective of the surveys and impact assessment carried out for the onshore electrical transmission works of East Anglia ONE. The final detail of the mitigation and enhancement measures will be provided through the Landscaping Management Scheme(s) and Ecological Management Plan(s) (LEcMS), to be agreed with the relevant authorities, pursuant to Requirements 18, 19 and 26 of the draft DCO.

The Outline Landscape and Ecological Management Strategy, as the basis for these more detailed future plans and schemes, has the following objectives:


To clearly outline the framework for ecological management and agree timetables for submission, after consultation with the relevant planning authority


To outline the provision of the details that would form both species protection and landscape mitigation planting schemes


To provide the basis for the agreement of a detailed Landscape Scheme for the converter station site with an aftercare period of 10 years. One for one replacement planting of failed plants would only be required for the first 5 years. Replacement planting after this date may be requested at the discretion of Mid Suffolk District Council. This scheme will detail how ecological landscape and Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) requirements will be integrated at the converter station site and should consider and act on (as appropriate) the locally developed Outline Converter Station Design Principles (see Appendix 1)


To provide the basis for the agreement of a detailed Landscaping Management Strategy for the protection and restoration of trees and hedges in the cable corridor, with an aftercare period of five years


It is expected that the schemes of planting and aftercare for the both the cable corridor and converter station site would be delivered by contractors who can demonstrate appropriate experience and capacity to deliver
