Purpose

The main purposes of the assessment are to:

  • provide an agreed baseline description of offshore areas, consistent

with information available for terrestrial areas in published landscape character assessments, to inform planning, design and management decisions undertaken by a range of interested parties; and

  • contribute to the baseline evidence for the Seascape, Landscape and

Visual Impact Assessments (SLVIAs) of developments in the coastal and marine environment including the East Anglia One North and East Anglia Two offshore windfarms.

Desk Study

Review key references. Order and overlay datasets:

  • Existing character assessments
  • Designations
  • Physical influences: geology, topography/bathymetry biodiversity
  • Cultural influences: marine heritage, fisheries, tourism, industry,

shipping Output: Draft Seascape Character Types

Field Survey

For each draft Character Type:

  • Assess and describe aesthetic and perceptual qualities.
  • Assess and describe views from land to sea, sea to land and along

the coast.

  • Prepare photographic record for each location.
  • Secure GPS co-ordinates for each location.

Output: Refinement to mapping and descriptions for draft Seascape Character Types

Briefing Paper and Proforma

  • For each of the draft Seascape Character Types, review the key

characteristics identified and comment. Is there additional detail to add?

  • Review the map illustrating draft Seascape Character Types and

suggest any amendments to the boundaries.

Please return forms to Lucy Williams by 27th July (refer to Briefing Paper for details)
