Have the new Able UK proposals at Cherry Cobb Sands been screened for EIA purposes? If so, by whom and what was the verdict (bearing in mind the 'part of a bigger scheme' clause in the Regs)?
Advice given
I am not clear whether you are referring explicitly to the proposed compensation site at Cherry Cobb Sands or the applicants proposed temporary wet grassland site adjacent, now the subject of a separate planning application to the local authority. If the latter, you will appreciate that it is not appropriate for me to comment on this.
On the subject of the compensation site at Cherry Cobb Sands which is enclosed within the DCO application, you will also appreciate that I can not be drawn on this as it would be inappropriate during the course of the examination. The matter of whether the proposed works within the redline of the DCO application has been sufficiently assessed is a matter for the examination however as you will be aware the applicant is proposing to submit a report (Black and Veatch 3) on 12 October.
