Thank for you the opportunity to comment on the East Anglia One North Offshore Windfarm project. Anglian Water is considered to be a statutory consultee for nationally significant infrastructure projects as identified in the Planning Act 2008 and associated regulations. The following representations are submitted on behalf of Anglian Water as water and sewerage undertaker for the above site: Anglian Water is in principle supportive of the above project. Impact on existing assets: There is existing water recycling infrastructure in Anglian Water’s ownership within the onshore cable route. These assets are critical to enable us to carry out Anglian Water’s duty as a sewerage undertaker. We anticipate having further discussions with the applicant about the need for diversions and/or crossings etc. of existing sewers as appropriate. Protective provisions: We have previously requested the inclusion of specific wording for the benefit of Anglian Water. It is noted that specific protective provisions have been included in the current version of the DCO (Schedule 10, Part 3 of the Draft DCO) as requested. Therefore we are supportive of the wording of the Draft DCO as submitted. Connections to water supply/public sewerage networks: Anglian Water is not aware of any water supply or wastewater requirements made upon them for the above project. Should a water supply or wastewater service be required and once agreement has been reached, there are a number of applications required to deliver the necessary infrastructure as outlined in the Water Industry Act 1991. Should you have any queries relating to this response please let me know.
