As a long term resident of the area [Redacted] and someone who also regularly enjoys Orfordness Island Nature Reserve, as a member of the National Trust, I wish to keep informed and monitor the mitigation elements for lesser black-backed gulls. I also believe as a registered Interested Party I would be able to provide local knowledge and significant experience of NSIP DCO examination to assist the Developer and PINs as to what information is helpful for individuals or groups who are not as aware of this process (for example do not understand the importance of being an IP or taking part in Open Floor Hearings and Issue Specfic Hearings) and to promote and enable meaningful evidence and effective engagement. Especially to ensure that DOOs Deed of Obligations are fully representative and deliverable. I am also very concerned about potential future changes (within the DCO process) to site landfall locations in Suffolk and the perceived or actual cumulative impacts with other energy projects already in the public domain, including but not limited to; disbenefit to the environment, health and well-being of residents and visitors, and the vital tourism economy of this heritage coast, and River Alde as part of the Suffolk Coast National Landscape (previously known as AONB/Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). I am also interested in the opportunity to inform the structure of community benefits to 'bring communities along' as well as compensation if mitigation can not be achieved. There is still a significant level of detail to be provided by the Developer and I believe the consultations previously have not been as 'front loaded' as the NSIP process expects.
