1 Introduction
1.1.1 This Chapter identifies and assesses the potential socio-economic effects that the Onshore Scheme, as described in Chapter 3 Onshore Scheme Description, may have. It also identifies the mitigation that will be implemented to prevent, reduce or offset potential adverse effects or enhance potential beneficial effects and any residual effects.
1.1.2 Potential socio-economic effects are interrelated with effects on landscape and visual amenity, archaeology and cultural heritage and the surrounding land and its uses as well as other issues of amenity. This Chapter should therefore be read in conjunction with Chapter 8 Land Use and Agriculture (Document 6.8), Chapter 10 Archaeology and Cultural Heritage (Document 6.10), Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11), Chapter 12 Air Quality, Chapter 13 Noise and Vibration (Document 6.13), and Chapter 14 Traffic, Transport and Access (Document 6.14) of this Environmental Statement (ES).

2 Legislation and Policy Background
2.1.1 Socio-economic, recreation and tourism facilities provide economic support for communities and improve the quality of life for those living in and visiting the area. The following legislation and policy documents describe the importance placed on protecting these assets.
2.2 SUMMARY OF NATIONAL POLICY AND LEGISLATION
Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN-1)
2.2.1 The Overarching National Policy Statement (NPS) for Energy (EN-1) (Ref. 15.1) states that where a project is likely to have socio-economic effects at local or regional levels, an assessment of these effects should be undertaken and included as part of the ES. The Requirements contained within EN-1 have been complied with in this assessment, as set out in Table 1.

Section 2 Legislation and Policy Background), and Landscape and Visual Assessment (Chapter 11 (Document 6.11), Section 2 Legislation and Policy Background) are set out in the relevant chapters of this ES.
National Planning Policy Framework
2.2.3 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was adopted in March 2012 and sets out the Government’s planning policies. Section 8 of the NPPF (Ref. 15.2), Promoting Healthy Communities, highlights the importance of facilitating social interaction and creating healthy, inclusive communities. It provides that policies should guard against the unnecessary loss of valued facilities and services and that Public Rights of Way (PRoW) should be protected and enhanced. Additionally, open space and recreational land are not to be built upon unless an assessment has shown them to be surplus to requirements, or the loss would be replaced by equivalent or better provision.
Marine Policy Statement (MPS)
2.2.4 The Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 introduced marine planning, with the aim of ensure a sustainable future for seas around the UK. The first step in marine planning was the development of The Marine Policy Statement (MPS) (Ref. 15.3). The MPS was adopted in March 2011 and sets the framework and high level policy context for the marine planning system, in order to deliver the UK Government’s vision of “clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse oceans and seas”. The MPS sets policy objectives for key offshore activities, and provides the context and considerations that should be taken into account in the next stage of marine planning (regional level inshore and offshore Marine Plans). Marine Plans aim to inform and guide decisions by regulators managing the development of industry in marine and coastal areas, while conserving and enhancing the environment. The first two Marine Plans, for the East Inshore and East Offshore marine areas, were adopted in April 2014 and are of relevance to the intertidal elements of the Onshore Scheme. Policy TR1 is relevant to this Chapter:
x TR1 Proposals for development should demonstrate that during construction and operation, they will not adversely impact tourism and recreation activities. Countryside and Rights of Way Act (2000)
2.2.5 The Countryside and Rights of Way Act (Ref. 15.4) provided a new right of public access on foot to areas of open land comprising mountain, moor, heath, down and registered common land, and contains provisions for
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 5 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
extending the right to access coastal land. The Countryside and Rights of Way Act also provides safeguards which take into account the needs of landowners and occupiers, and of other interests, including wildlife.
2.3 SUMMARY OF LOCAL PLANNING POLICY
2.3.1 There are a number of local planning policies and plans which set out both Selby District’s and the East Riding of Yorkshire’s strategic aims for the area in regards to socio-economics, recreation and tourism.
Selby District Core Strategy Local Plan (October 2013)
2.3.2 A key aim of Selby District’s Core Strategy (Ref. 15.5) is to “Develop the Economy”. It aims to facilitate economic recovery in Selby through the retention and creation of new jobs in line with local aspirations and by ensuring the District continues to be attractive to investment.
2.3.3 It also states that supporting the energy sector will assist in reinvigorating, expanding and modernising the district’s economy.
2.3.4 Relevant policies to the Onshore Scheme are:
x Policy SP13 – Scale and Distribution of Economic Growth. East Riding Joint Structure Plan (2005)
2.3.5 The East Riding Joint Structure Plan (Ref 15.6) sets out the strategy for the future development and use of the land in the area. Specific site allocations for development and planning policies are set out in four local plans, three of which are relevant to the Onshore Scheme:
x Beverley Borough Local Plan (adopted June 1996) x Boothferry Borough Local Plan (adopted April 1999) x East Yorkshire Borough Local Plan (adopted June 1997) Beverley Borough Local Plan (1996)
2.3.6 Regarding employment, the following overall aims have been set out within the Local Plan (Ref.15.7):
x To endeavour to improve and broaden the economic base of the area to create a stronger and more diverse local economy capable of generating self-sustained growth which offers secure and good quality employment; and x To build on the existing strengths of the local economy and to make the most of new economic opportunities.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 6 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
2.3.7 The Plan also recognises the importance of outdoor recreational space and the potential for recreational opportunities using disused railways (of relevance to the Onshore Scheme is the stretch between Market Weighton and Driffield).
2.3.8 Importance is also placed on the recreational value of public rights of way (PRoW) and regard should be given to the following policies:
x Policy T17 - The Council will seek to achieve improved facilities and conditions for pedestrians and cyclists; and x Policy T18 - Wherever possible, existing public rights of way will be preserved and protected during development. Diversions of public rights of way will only be agreed in order to facilitate an approved development, make a significantly more economic use of land, increase safety or make a more attractive route for walkers or riders. The opportunity will be taken to extend the network of public rights of way and cycleways wherever possible and to connect new footpaths and bridleways to the existing system of public rights of way. Boothferry Borough Local Plan (1999)
2.3.9 Relevant policies contained within the Boothferry Local Plan (Ref. 15.8) are as follows:
x Policy EN26 - The local planning authority will use its powers to protect the existing rights of way system and ensure that it can be beneficially used by the public at large. The local planning authority will seek to, where possible, extend and enhance the system as part of any development proposal and by agreement. x Policy LT9 - The council, in conjunction with landowners, land occupiers and user groups will maintain and seek to improve the network of long distance recreational footpaths, cycleways and bridleways. In particular priority will be given to those schemes which improve links with urban areas and the countryside and provide circular routes. Small scale leisure development along this network such as amenity areas, play areas and nature reserves which complement the recreation use of the route will be promoted, unless this would result in unacceptable:- A. Loss of amenity to local residents or disturbance to wildlife or a nature conservation site. B. Reduction in road safety. C. Conflict with other policies in this plan. x Policy LT10 - The local planning authority will encourage water-based recreation and tourism within the plan area, insofar
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 7 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
as this is consistent with the capacity of the water feature and the character and nature conservation importance of the surrounding area, and do not interfere with the possible future restoration to navigable standard of any disused waterway.
East Yorkshire Borough Local Plan (saved policies, 2007)
2.3.10 The East Yorkshire Borough Local Plan (Ref. 15.9) was adopted in 1997, with a review of policies in 2007 following the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, 2004 (Ref. 15.10). The employment objectives contained within the Local Plan are listed as:
x To ensure an adequate supply of land to meet the employment needs of the borough; x To enable the borough to respond to new development opportunities which will broaden the economic base; x To assist the diversification of the rural economy; and x To recognise and safeguard the countryside as an economic asset.
2.3.11 The tourism objectives are listed as:
x To encourage tourism development where it will benefit local residents and visitors alike; x To maintain, improve and broaden the range of tourist facilities; x To maximise the benefits of tourism development through an extended tourist season; and x To ensure that development is compatible with the quality and character of the environment and recognises its significance or potential as a resource for nature conservation.
2.3.12 The recreation objectives are listed as:
x To encourage the availability of a wide variety of recreational opportunities for borough residents and visitors; x To increase public access to the coast and promote new opportunities for the enjoyment of the countryside; x To ensure that pressures for recreational use are accommodated where they are compatible with the character of the area and other environmental or nature conservation constraints; and x To ensure that recreational provision keeps pace with new housing development.
2.3.13 Policy R4 – The Loss of Recreational Open Space is relevant to the Onshore Scheme.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 8 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
Proposed East Riding Local Plan: Draft Strategy Document, 2013
2.3.14 The East Riding Local Plan is expected to be adopted in 2014 and will replace the four Local Plans which currently exist for East Riding’s Boroughs. The following policies in the Draft Strategy Document (Ref. 15.11) are relevant to the Onshore Scheme:
x Policy EC1: Supporting the East Riding Economy; and x Policy EC3: Developing and Diversifying the Visitor Economy.
2.3.15 Policy EC1 states that development will be supported where it will strengthen the East Riding's key employment sectors and clusters including renewable energy; manufacturing and engineering and tourism.
2.3.16 A priority for the Draft Strategy is to support growth in the tourism sector. It states that there is a requirement for tourism development, particularly tourist accommodation.
2.4 SUMMARY OF ECONOMIC AND TOURISM STRATEGIES
2.4.1 A review of local and regional economic and tourism strategies have been carried out to ensure that the Onshore Scheme does not contradict the aims and goals of the industry.
2.4.2 Several documents have fed into the region’s strategic planning and policy making, that are now under review, out of date or revoked:
x East Riding Regional Spatial Strategy;
x The Yorkshire and Humber Plan (Regional Spatial Strategy);
x East Riding Economic Development Strategy 2007 – 2011;
x East Riding Yorkshire Council Tourism Plan 2006 – 2008;
x Visit Hull and East Yorkshire Business Plan 2007 - 2008
York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Economic Strategy and Investment Plan, 2015 – 2020: Consultation Draft, 2013
2.4.3 This strategy (Ref. 15.12) sets out how the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership will work with partners to realise opportunities and achieve business led growth.
2.4.4 Their vision is for the area to become “a thriving, prosperous place where businesses are growing in size, number and long term profitability”. Of the
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 9 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
five priorities stated in the strategy those relevant to the Onshore Scheme, and that which will be aided by it are:
x Driving growth in our towns and the City of York x A workforce with the skills that businesses need to grow
Yorkshire Forward – Regional Economic Strategy 2006-2015; Strategic Vision for the Visitor Economy
2.4.5 The Regional Economic Strategy (RES) (Ref 15.13) identifies that it will focus on specific opportunities to deliver quality, sustainability, good intelligence and innovation within the tourism sector. The RES also identifies that activities like tourism can be managed in such a way as to conserve cherished but fragile environments and reap economic rewards together.

3 Scope of the Assessment
3.1.1 The scope of the assessment and methodology was defined in the Scoping Report (Appendix 6.4.2 (Document 6.4.2)), in Section 14.5, in February 2013. The issues identified for consideration in the ES included:
x Community, employment and local economy effects; x Tourism and recreation; and x Public access.
3.1.2 As proposed in the Scoping Report, these issues have been addressed within this assessment as follows:
Community, Employment and Local Economy
3.1.3 Settlements within the study area have been identified, and their approximate population and key characteristics recorded. The socio economic effect in the area has been discussed in terms of employment and direct support to the local economy in the area. This included a desk- based review of existing reports together with using tools such as the Indices of Multiple Deprivation and Online National Statistics to inform the baseline.
3.1.4 A review of regional employment and community strategies, together with publically available statistics for the area has been undertaken.
Tourism and recreation
3.1.5 Tourist and recreation facilities and attractions have been identified through desktop study and a field survey. The outcomes of a beach user walk over survey have informed the baseline regarding recreation at the coastal interface of the Pipeline Envelope.
Public Access
3.1.6 Guidance on PRoWs and best practice documents has been referred to, including the British Horse Society, and documents more broadly covering recreation and tourism uses. The NPPF notes that planning policies should protect and enhance PRoW and access.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 11 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
3.1.7 The issues raised in the Secretary of State’s (SoS) Scoping Opinion relevant to this chapter (paragraphs 3.45 and 3.86 – 3.87 of Appendix 6.4.3 (Document 6.4.3)) and how they have been addressed in the assessment are provided in Table 2.

3.1.8 Further details of the assessment methodology are outlined in Section 4, Methods.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 13 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
4 Methods
4.1 STUDY AREA
4.1.1 There is no specific guidance as to the socio-economic study area which should be applied to this type of project and assessment. It has therefore been considered that due to the largely temporary and localised nature of effects, a 3 kilometre (km) Study Area applied to the Pipeline Envelope is sufficient to extend far enough to identify any recreational receptors such as recreational and tourist attractions and community facilities, and capture any direct and indirect effects that may occur as a result of the construction of the Onshore Scheme. The 3 km Study Area can be seen on Figures 15.1a and b.
4.1.2 Socio-economic effects have been considered on a local and regional scale as these are expected to be more wide spread throughout the area.
4.1.3 Public Rights of Way (PRoW) which are crossed or directly affected by the Pipeline Envelope during construction have been identified. Those PRoW on which users may experience reduced visual amenity effects caused by the AGIs during operation have also been identified within 1.5km (Drax PIG Trap, Camblesforth Multi-junction, Tollingham Block Valve, Dalton Block Valve, and Skerne Block Valve) and 3km (Barmston Pumping Station), as described below in Section 4.1.4.
4.1.4 Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11) has carried out a visual assessment of the permanent features (AGIs) of the Onshore Scheme, for which view sheds have been produced. These view sheds have been used in the Socio-economic and tourism assessment to identify those receptors which may be affected during the operational phase. The zones of theoretical visibility (ZTVs) were assessed to the following distances due to the methodology set out in Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment(Document 6.11), Section 4 Methods:
x All land within 1.5 km of the three Block Valve sites (Tollingham, Dalton, Skerne), the Drax PIG Trap site and Camblesforth Multi- junction; and x All land within 3 km of Barmston Pumping Station.

4.2 TEMPORAL SCOPE
4.2.1 The socio-economic, tourism and recreation assessment has identified and assessed potential effects caused by the construction, operation and decommissioning phases of the Onshore Scheme.
4.3 ASSESSMENT GUIDANCE AND METHODS
4.3.1 There is no specific guidance directly applicable to the assessment of effects of pipelines and associated infrastructure on socio-economics. However, there are a number of other guidance documents which are of relevance. The following have been used to inform the assessment:
x Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) (2004). Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment (Ref. 15.15); x The Highways Agency, Scottish Government, Welsh Assembly Government and the Department of Regional Development Northern Ireland (1993). Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB). Volume 11, Section 3, Part 8: Pedestrians, Cyclists, Equestrians and Community Effects (Ref 15.14); and x Department for Communities and Local Government (2006). A Good Practice Guide on Planning for Tourism (Ref. 15.16). Socio-economics
4.3.2 The method for the socio-economic assessment has been broadly derived from the DMRB, Volume 11 Environmental Assessment methodology for the assessment of pedestrians, cyclists and community effects (Volume 11, Section 3, and Part 8) (Ref. 15.14). This includes consideration of job creation, local expenditure, and potential effects on community facilities.
Tourism and Recreation, Public Rights of Way and Access
4.3.3 The guidance of effects on access and recreation has taken into account guidance from the British Horse Society (Ref. 15.17) and broadly followed the guidance contained within DMRB, Volume 11, Section 3, Part 8: Pedestrians, Cyclists, Equestrians and Community Effects (Ref. 15.14). This includes considerations of effects on core paths, footpaths, cycleways and other less formal routes including changes in the amenity (“the quality of being pleased or agreeable in a situation, prospect or deposition”) (Ref. 15.14) of users (walkers, pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians) as well as any severance or disturbance of these as a result of the construction, operation and decommissioning of the Onshore Scheme.

4.4 SENSITIVITY AND VALUE
4.4.1 Criteria for describing the sensitivity or value of the receiving environment are summarised below in Table 3. The sensitivity of the receptor takes into account the receptor’s recognised value or quality in terms of the socio- economic or recreational activities it supports and the ability to absorb an effect without perceptible change. The sensitivity criteria have been derived taking into account relevant legislation, statutory designations or classifications.
Table 3: Determining Socio-Economic, Tourism and Recreation Sensitivity
Value Examples
The receptor has no capacity to absorb change (from exposure to socio- economic threats) without fundamentally altering its present character (including economic and social deprivation patterns, employment profile, Very High employment forecasts, population dynamics, tourism status or appeal). Receptor is of very high socio-economic or tourism value, or of international importance.
The receptor has little or no capacity to absorb change (from exposure to socio-economic threats) without fundamentally altering its present character (including economic and social deprivation patterns, High employment profile, employment forecasts, population dynamics, tourism status or appeal). Receptor is of high socio-economic or tourism value, or of national importance.
The receptor has moderate capacity to absorb change (from exposure to socio-economic threats) without significantly altering its present character (including economic and social deprivation patterns, employment profile, Medium employment forecasts, population dynamics, tourism status or appeal). Receptor has some socio-economic or tourism value, or is of regional importance.
The receptor is tolerant of change (from exposure to socio-economic threats) without detriment to its character (including economic and social Low deprivation patterns, employment profile, employment forecasts, population dynamics, tourism status or appeal). Receptor is of low socio-economic or tourism value, or local importance.
The receptor is resistant to change and is of little socio-economic or Negligible tourism value.

Magnitude 4.4.2 The magnitude of change resulting from the Onshore Scheme is assessed for each identified receptor as listed in Tables 11 and 15, which include communities, local businesses tourist attractions and amenities and users of PRoW. The magnitude of change categories are adapted from DMRB guidance (Ref. 15.14) and are presented in Table 15.4.
4.4.3 Change to amenities and features can be either direct or indirect. Direct effects are those where there is a physical connection between the Onshore Scheme and the amenity, whereas indirect effects require some additional pathway for the effect to arise, for example changes to the amenity of a receptor.

4.5 APPROACH TO THE ASSESSMENT
4.5.1 The socio-economic, recreation and tourism assessment has been carried out through a combination of desk-based study and field survey, producing
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 18 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
a mixture of quantitative and qualitative outputs. Desk based activities can be summarised as follows:
x Review of local, regional and national policies and tourism strategies; x Review of publicly available reports together with tools such as Indices of Multiple Deprivation and Online National Statistics to inform the baseline; and x Identification of tourist and recreation facilities.
Sensitivity Tests
4.5.2 The following scenarios have been considered in this assessment.
x The likely year of construction is 2018; however, the potential effects or changes in mitigation requirements, if construction took place in 2024 have been considered. x Currently it is proposed that the Barmston Pumping Station Site will be constructed in its entirety between 2017 and 2018. However, the construction works may be phased with some of the works taking place in 2018 and the remainder in 2024. This potential has been taken into account in the assessment. x The Multi-junction at Camblesforth has been assessed with two PIG Traps to be constructed in 2018. However, three additional PIG Traps may potentially be installed to the south as future emitters come on line. These three PIG Traps may be constructed in a single year such as 2024 or in consecutive years from 2022 to 2024 and these potential developments have been taken into account in the assessment. 4.5.3 Regardless of the year of construction the potential effects on socio- economics, recreation and tourism predicted in the assessment and the recommended mitigation measures would remain the same. Visit England statistics suggest that in the years from 2006 to 2012, the average number of visitors to Selby and East Riding has slowly risen (Ref. 15.18 and Table 10). Providing that visitor numbers rise at a similar rate and there is no dramatic increase this assessment will still be relevant.
4.6 SUMMARY OF SITE SURVEYS
4.6.1 The following surveys have been undertaken as part of the socio- economics, tourism and recreation assessment:
x A field survey to identify community facilities and attractions in the area was undertaken on the 25th and 26th July 2012;
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 19 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
x A beach condition survey was undertaken on 25th and 26th July 2012 to assess the physical condition of Barmston Sands and Fraisthorpe Sands (including access points), and was used to inform a set of two beach user surveys; and x Beach user surveys were performed by CTS Traffic over two weekend periods, the first being the 24th – 27th August 2012 and the second being the 2nd – 5th November 2012. The results of these are included in Appendix 6.15.1 (Document 6.15.1) and have been used to inform the design of the Onshore Scheme (ie the landfall section of the pipeline was sited north of Barmston due to the levels of use and activity observed during these surveys). Further details can be found in Sections 6.3.19 – 6.3.25 and Appendix 6.15.1 (Document 6.15.1).
4.7 SUMMARY OF CONSULTATION
4.7.1 The Scoping Report (Appendix 6.4.2 (Document 6.4.2)) submitted to the Planning Inspectorate in February 2013, outlined the methodology for the socio-economic assessment. The Scoping Opinion received from the Secretary of State is found in Appendix 6.4.3 (Document 6.4.3) and other consultation responses can be found in Chapter 4 Consultation and the Consultation Report (Document 5.1).
4.7.2 In addition to the consultation exercises carried out and detailed in Chapter 4 Consultation, the following organisations were also consulted and given the opportunity to inform the assessment of socio-economic effects:
x Ramblers Association (provided with Preliminary Environmental Information Report and originally asked for comment on proposals in August 2013, no comment has been received); x Countryside Access Officers, East Riding of Yorkshire Council; x Tourism Manager, Visit Hull and East Yorkshire (VHEY) (originally asked for comment in August 2013, no comment has been received); x Rights of Way Officer, North Yorkshire Council; x Sustrans (originally asked for comment in August 2013, no comment has been received); and x British Horse Society.

5.1.2 The assessment of residual effects is considered for each of the various elements of the Onshore Scheme, which are described in full in Chapter 5 EIA Process (Document 6.5). The following table (Table 9) provides a summary of the elements of the Onshore Scheme that are used for the purposes of the EIA and also commentary on how each element has been considered within this Chapter.
Table 8 Elements of the Onshore Scheme
Application Boundary The Application Boundary is the extent of the Order Limits of the draft Development Consent Order (DCO), the area within which the Onshore Scheme is located and will be constructed. The Application Boundary is all encompassing of the following elements. Pipeline Envelope The Pipeline Envelope is the area within which the Pipeline will be routed plus the additional area to allow for the working width. Typically this is 136 m wide, and 151 m wide at road, river and utility crossing points. This represents the ‘Rochdale Envelope’ for the Pipeline Element of the Onshore Scheme to allow for changes to be made based on DCO requirements, or even during construction, should an unexpected issue be encountered. For the purposes of assessment, the Pipeline Envelope will have pre-construction drainage put in and the topsoil stripped. On completion of the works soil will be ripped and the soil restored, including restoring the agricultural drainage. Where there are linear features crossed (for example hedgerows or riverbanks) the assessment has assumed that a working width of no more than 36m, or 51m at box outs, will be required for construction. For point receptors within or affected by the Pipeline Envelope (for example an archaeological asset) it is assumed that all of these assets are affected (where a separate commitment to retain/protect does not exist). This is necessary to identify all of the receptors that could be affected by the Onshore Scheme, even if in reality they may not all be affected.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 27 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
Approach for this Chapter This Chapter assumes that any land and receptor within the Pipeline Envelope will be affected and crossed. Temporary Construction Areas (TCAs) In addition to the Pipeline Envelope, there are areas where more temporary construction land is required than just the working width. An example would be where pipes need to be strung for large non open cut crossings. The assessment has assumed that these areas will have pre-construction drainage put in and the topsoil stripped. On completion of the works soil would be ripped and the soil restored, including restoring the agricultural drainage. The boundaries of these areas typically extend to existing field boundaries, the assessment has assumed that these boundaries are left in place (for example no loss of hedgerow). Where field boundaries are within the TCA the assessment has assumed this will be lost during construction but reinstated. Approach for this Chapter It has been assumed that all of the land within TCAs will be temporarily affected. Flexible Drainage Areas The works in these areas will be smaller scale than the main Pipeline construction. Works will range from simply cleaning out drains, to installing new drains, and possibly new head walls at outfalls, if necessary. For the purposes of assessment it is assumed that a new drain will be installed using a Mastenbroek trencher or similar. As the Rochdale Envelope approach has been necessary, a number of assumptions have been agreed, to enable flexibility to avoid environmental features when designing the drains. The assumptions applied are as detailed in Chapter 5 EIA Process (Document 6.5) but include for example the avoidance of trees. Approach for this Chapter The assumptions from Chapter 5 EIA Process (Document 6.5) have been applied. Construction Compounds There are two Construction Compounds at Tollingham and Driffield. They will be operational from the commencement of construction through to the end of construction. The assessment has assumed at Tollingham the land would be subject to pre- construction drainage, soil stripping and a return to previous use following construction. Driffield is hard standing so no additional site preparation is required. Approach for this Chapter
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 28 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
It has been assumed that all of the land within Construction Compounds will be affected. Above Ground Installations For each of the AGIs there are two main components. Firstly there is the AGI itself, which is the area where permanent features may be installed, such as security fencing, landscaping, access tracks, above ground pipe-work. Secondly there is land which will be needed for the temporary construction works for the AGI including vehicle parking, materials storage, cabins and welfare facilities. The assessment has assumed these areas will have pre-construction drainage installed and will be stripped of topsoil before being used. They will be restored to their original use post construction. Approach for this Chapter The assessment considers the effects of permanent physical and setting effects, as well as temporary setting effects resulting from the construction of the AGIs on socio economics recreation and tourism. Likely Pipeline Although the application is for the Pipeline Envelope the works plans show a potential Pipeline route. An assessment of the potential Pipeline route, including a 36 m or 51 m working width, is presented as a secondary assessment and designed to give the reader an understanding of the impact of the probable development scenario. This secondary level of assessment has not been reported to the same level of detail as the assessment of the Pipeline Envelope, but it does highlight the key differences. Approach for this Chapter The assessment considers those receptors such as a PROW which will only be crossed by the Likely Pipeline.

6 Baseline Conditions
6.1.1 This section outlines the existing socio-economic conditions of the area in which the Onshore Scheme is located, both by region and local authority and identifies receptors which may be affected by the Onshore Scheme. These are detailed under the categories of Community, Employment and the Local Economy, Tourism and Recreation and PRoW and Access.
Community
6.1.2 The Onshore Scheme begins at Camblesforth in the District of Selby and ends at Barmston in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Onshore Scheme will be located near to several settlements and is described in the following sections in Table 9.
Table 9 Settlements in the Socio-economic, Recreation and Tourism Study Area

6.1.3 Located within many of these settlements are public services and community facilities such as village halls, churches and places of worship and schools.
6.2 EMPLOYMENT AND THE LOCAL ECONOMY
6.2.1 The following economic baseline for the Onshore Scheme has been assessed using Labour Market Statistics and the English Indices of Multiple Deprivation (EIMD). A tabulated summary can be found in Appendix 6.15.1 (Document 6.15.1) comparing the population and employment statistics at a Local Authority, regional and national level.
6.2.2 The EIMD is based on the concept that deprivation consists of more than just poverty. Poverty is not having enough money to take care of basic needs such as food, clothing and housing, whereas deprivation refers to a general lack of resources and opportunities.
6.2.3 The EIMD is constructed from eight different types of deprivation, which are:
x Income; x Housing; x Employment; x Access to Services; x Education; x Health; x Community safety; and x Physical environment.
6.2.4 The index is produced as a set of ranks, with a rank of 1 assigned to the most deprived area. The Local Authority District Summaries show that of the 326 Local Authorities in England, Selby has an average rank of 236 and East Riding has an average rank of 216. Selby therefore sits within the top third of least deprived Local Authorities and East Riding falls just short of this (Ref. 15.19). Further detail is shown in Appendix 6.15.1 (Document 6.15.1).
Selby
6.2.5 Data provided by the Office of National Statistics shows that the District of Selby has a population of 84, 100 as of 2012, of which 17.9% (of those aged between 16 and 64) are registered as economically inactive (Ref. 15.20). Unemployment rates in 2012 - 2013 were recorded at 4.9% which is
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 31 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
lower than both the national rate of 7.8% and the Yorkshire and Humber rate of 9.2%.
6.2.6 Primary industries (2011) in North Yorkshire have been identified as production, distribution, business service activities and public administration whilst the highest occupation groups in Selby (2012 – 2013) are listed as skilled traders, professional occupations and associated professional and technical occupations (male) and professional occupations, administrative and secretarial occupations and associated professional and technical occupations (female). (Ref. 15.20).
East Riding of Yorkshire
6.2.7 East Riding has a population of 204,400 as of 2012, of which 20.7% are registered as economically inactive (Ref. 15.20). The area was recorded in 2012 – 2013 to have an unemployment rate of 6.5%, which like Selby, was also lower than both the national and Yorkshire and Humber unemployment rates.
6.2.8 The East Riding of Yorkshire was recorded in 2012 as having a higher proportion (10%) than the national average of 9.5% of the adult working population aged 16 - 64 with no qualifications. Primary industries in the area (2011) include production, distribution and public administration, whilst the highest occupation groups for the region (2012 – 2013) are listed as skilled traders, professional occupations and associated professional and technical occupations (male) and professional occupations, administrative and secretarial occupations and personal service occupations (female) (Ref. 15.20).
6.3 TOURISM AND RECREATION
6.3.1 Tourism is an important part of Hull and East Yorkshire’s economy, generating £615 million annually and providing 15,000 full-time, seasonal and part-time jobs (Ref. 15.21).
6.3.2 Tourist expenditure in East Riding of Yorkshire contributes an approximate total of £347 million to the economy (Ref. 15.22). Seaside tourism in the East Riding of Yorkshire is estimated to support 3,500 jobs, contributing an estimated £56 million to local Gross Value Added (GVA)1 and is therefore considered to be a vital component of the coastal economy (Ref. 15.22).
1 Gross Value Added (GVA) measures the contribution to the economy of each individual producer, industry or sector in the United Kingdom. Source ONS: http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide- method/method-quality/specific/economy/national-accounts/gva/index.html (accessed 18/12/2013)

6.3.4 The East Riding Tourism Accommodation Study (Ref 15.23) notes that East Riding does not have a signature or high profile attraction that attracts visitors in its own right to the area. It also lacks a critical mass in properties affiliated to one of the principal conservation organisations such as the National Trust and English Heritage. The study states that whilst there is an absence of high profile attractions, there are themes of attractions within East Riding, the main two being heritage and family-based attractions, with synergies seen with coastal resorts which support the industry.
6.3.5 There are many local recreational and community facilities located in the Study Area which contribute to the local economy, including golf courses, fisheries and leisure and sporting venues. There are also several tourist attractions and recreational facilities including the stately home Carlton

6.3.6 In addition to those attractions identified in Table 10, it is also worth noting recreational activities that take place across the region in varying locations:
Shooting
6.3.7 Both commercial and recreational shooting is carried out throughout the Study Area. Larger scale commercial shoots are more common east of Market Weighton into the Wolds, near Lund and South Dalton, including those held by the Dalton Estate. Release pens for young pheasants are present at Etton and Goodmanham. Game cover crops are also present at Barmston cliffs, Stone Hills and Bainton.
6.3.8 The majority of shoots across the region are either pheasant or partridge, the optimal seasons for which in England are from the 01 October to 01 February (pheasant) and from 01 September to 01 February (partridge).
Fishing
6.3.9 Fishing is an activity which takes place across the Study Area, at a number of fisheries and suitable water courses. Fishing clubs own the rights to fish Driffield Trout Stream, watercourses south of Wansford, and at Wade House Lane, Drax. These fisheries and fishing clubs offer limited availability for fishing, with several of the fishing clubs offering only private membership.
Equestrian
6.3.10 Both private and commercial horse riders use the bridleways and the local road network within the Study Area and Pipeline Envelope for recreational
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 39 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
purposes: Hales Farm at Drax has a livery business and horses use the surrounding bridleways and country roads. Featherbed Lane, near Spaldington Common, is also used by riders.
Local Businesses Supporting the Tourism Industry
6.3.11 In addition to the recreational facilities and tourist attractions identified above, there are many local businesses and facilities which provide supporting hospitality services to the tourism industry. These include accommodation facilities such as hotels, bed and breakfasts, self catering accommodation, camping and caravanning sites and restaurants and public houses.
6.3.12 Table 12 details the accommodation stock in both the East Riding of Yorkshire and Selby, as stated in the Visit England 2012 Accommodation Stock Audit (Ref 15.24).

6.3.13 The occupancy of serviced rooms and bedspaces in Yorkshire has also been published by Visit England (Ref 15.24) and is shown in Table 12 below. These figures show that even during the peak summer season, serviced accommodation facilities still have capacity to accommodate workers staying in the area to work on the Onshore Scheme.

6.3.14 Table 14 demonstrates the distribution of accommodation stock in 2009 in East Riding as found in the East Riding Tourism Accommodation Study (Ref 15.23). From this break down, it is observed that the concentration of serviced accommodation is found in Bridlington and near the A63 and M62, which are in close enough proximity to serve workers of the Pipeline from outside of the region. The majority of holiday parks are also found in Bridlington and the Holderness Coast, located away from the Pipeline Envelope, with the exception of Barmston Beach Holiday Park.
6.3.15 The study states that performance data for the accommodation is only available for serviced and self catering facilities, but is shown to follow the general seasonal pattern of higher occupancy in the summer months (i.e. the peak months of June, July, August and September) and lower occupancy in the winter months (i.e. off-season of November, December, January and February).

Construction Area. 6.3.17 There are additional PRoW in the Study Area which do not have any direct interaction with the Pipeline, but may experience some visual amenity effects. Those identified as being within the zone of visual influence of the permanent features of the Onshore Scheme during operation are set out in Tables 15.15 and 15.15 and discussed in Section 7 Potential Effects and also Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Amenity (Section 7, Potential Effects).
6.3.18 In addition, there is a towpath along the Driffield Canal between Driffield and Wansford. There is also a permissive cliff top path connected to the beach at various locations, and the beach itself provides a right of way. Natural England expects to begin works on the relevant section of the English National Coastal Trail under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (Ref.15.25), in 2014/2015. The trail will incorporate associated amenity land which the public will be free to use (see Natural England’s revised coastal access scheme) (Ref.15.26)
Physical Condition and Beach User Surveys
6.3.19 Surveys were carried out early in the design process to establish the condition and level of use of access resources to both Barmston Sands and Fraisthorpe Sands. The results of these surveys are summarised below, and are included in full in Appendix 6.15.1 (Document 6.15.1).
6.3.20 The condition and level of use of the existing access resources along the beach were established using a two tier approach which comprised:
x Physical condition surveys at access locations; and x Spot counts of beach users and users of other access resources.
6.3.21 The Physical Condition Survey was undertaken in June 2012 (Appendix 6.15.1 (Document 6.15.1), section 2) at 11 locations north and south of Barmston, six to the south and five to the north. At the time there were two options being considered for the landfall, one to the north and one to the south of Barmston. The surveys were undertaken in the peak season of summer to allow an assessment of the general condition and availability of access resources and an indication of the extent of the use of those access resources at a time when they would be most frequently used. This information was then used to inform the decision making process regarding the landfall location.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 50 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
6.3.22 The Physical Condition Survey recorded varying levels of use of access at the 11 locations, ranging from low to high, with activity concentrated south of Barmston. From this survey, recommendations were made for locations of spot counts of users.
6.3.23 The Beach User Surveys were carried out using spot counts at five locations identified during the Physical Condition Survey. They were undertaken over the August Bank Holiday weekend Friday 24th August – Monday 27th August 2012 and the first weekend in November Friday 2nd November – Monday 5th November 2012 which is representative of the school half term, in accordance with DMRB guidance (Ref. 15.14), which states that:
“Counts of pedestrian and other flows should be arranged so that the results are as representative as possible of typical flows. They should generally take place over two days, preferably spread out over a number of months, to avoid variations caused by the weather or local factors. Spring or autumn are likely to be the most appropriate times of the year. In residential areas, counts taken on a weekend during school term time are likely to be most typical. In holiday or recreational areas, counts during the summer months will probably be required. All pedestrian and other journeys between 8am and 6pm should be counted and their direction indicated.” 6.3.24 The results of the spot counts and condition survey indicated that recreational facilities to the south of the area surveyed were more frequently used. It was also recorded that the majority of users were adult pedestrians and dog walkers, and secondary to these were child pedestrians. The results also showed that notably more users utilised the beach rather than the access points or permissive PRoWs. Additionally there was a substantially higher level of use in the summer (5580 recordings in total across six spot count locations) than in the autumn (2023 recordings in total across six spot count locations).

7 Potential Effects
7.1.1 Within this section the potential effects are considered by elements of the Onshore Scheme (for example Pipeline Envelope and Above Ground Installations) and then by issue (for example Socio-economics and Tourism and Recreation)
7.2 CONSTRUCTION
Pipeline Envelope - All Pipeline Sections
Socio-economics 7.2.1 During the construction phase of the Onshore Scheme there will be an increase in traffic flows, particularly for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) being used to transport construction equipment and materials. An assessment of the effects of the Onshore Scheme upon the local road network is provided in Chapter 14: Traffic and Transport (Document 6.14) (Section 7.1 Potential Effects). Potential direct adverse effects to local businesses located along the main access routes are considered to result from traffic disruption which may lead to local people and visitors avoiding travelling to local amenities and community facilities including shops, restaurants and cafes and churches due to increased journey times. This would, however, only be a temporary and intermittent, localised effect during the construction phase of low magnitude. Receptors are of low sensitivity. Residents could also experience increased journey times on commutes to work places and schools and nurseries. Schools and nurseries are receptors of high sensitivity due to high socio-economic value and limited capacity to absorb change.
7.2.2 The construction industry is a major contributor to the UK Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with approximately 350,000 firms, employing 3.1 million people. A study undertaken in 2012 (Ref. 15.27) concluded that “£1 spent on construction output generates a total of £2.84 in total economic activity” which means an increase in GDP. Table 16 details the direct and indirect effects from investment into the economy and how it contributes to GDP.

7.2.3 The construction of the Onshore Scheme will involve a significant investment and has the potential to create jobs (some specialist to pipeline construction and some with broad applications in the regional energy sector), both directly and indirectly, within the local area. As identified within Section 6.2 of the baseline assessment, primary industries identified in the area include distribution and production. Skilled trades occupations were listed as the primary source of male employment for both Selby and the East Riding of Yorkshire. The construction of the Pipeline would create opportunities and be able to utilise these resources where possible. The regional economy is considered to be of medium sensitivity. The investment in the area isan effect of low magnitude due to its temporary nature.
7.2.4 In terms of employment, the number of construction staff will vary according to the types of activities being undertaken. There are likely to be two teams working at any one time with up to 1000 workers in total during the peak period of construction. On similar National Grid projects, it is typical that between 100 – 200 local people are employed during construction to undertake the non-specialised tasks including labouring and machinery driving. It is expected that this level of job creation will be observed for the construction of the Onshore Scheme. Employment of this scale in the region will be temporary and of low beneficial magnitude, although there will also be some enduring effects associated with the increase in experience and up skilling that employees will benefit from in the long term.
7.2.5 It is likely that a proportion of the workforce could be sourced from outside the local area, and would therefore result in a requirement for temporary accommodation such as hotels, guest houses and Bed & Breakfasts. Additionally, a temporary increase in the use of services provided by other businesses such as restaurants, public houses and retail outlets could be required, resulting in an increase of expenditure in the area. Due to the short-term (less than two-years) time scale of the construction phase and
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 53 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
the localised nature of receptors, effects are considered to be of low magnitude and low sensitivity.
7.2.6 The construction of the Pipeline may create temporary severance and land take issues to landowners (of low sensitivity due to local importance) along the Pipeline Envelope. There will be a temporary loss of productive agricultural land along the Pipeline Envelope during the construction of the Onshore Scheme and therefore result in effects of low magnitude to the local economy (due to the temporary nature of contruction effects). The effects caused by severance of land are further discussed in Chapter 8, Land Use and Agriculture (Document 6.8) (Section 4.4.28 and 7, Potential Effects). Severance of land also has the potential to lead to a reduced need for seasonal labour. Potential loss of seasonal labour (a receptor of low sensitivity given the highly localised scale) is expected to be an effect of low magnitude due to the temporary nature of the loss and the highly localised scale.
7.2.7 Construction activities could impact upon water quality and cause indirect adverse effects to the organisms within the environment from accidental spillages, silt laden run-off and dust and therefore affect the commercial fishing facilities that operate in the area. The scale of the commercial fisheries is small and therefore of low sensitivity but the magnitude of change in the event of an incident, whereby fish stocks would be harmed and result in a loss of earnings, would be medium. Potential sources and effects on water quality and fish species are discussed further in Chapter 6 Water Resources and Flood Risk (Document 6.6) (Section 7, Potential Effects) and Chapter 9 Ecology (Document 6.9) (Section 7, Potential Effects).
Tourism and Recreation 7.2.8 Potential effects along the Pipeline Envelope and within the Study Area are likely to arise from the sources detailed in the paragraphs below.
7.2.9 Construction traffic could cause temporary and intermittent disruption to the road network. This could possibly deter some local people and visitors from using tourism and recreational facilities due to increased journey time. These effects will be short term and localised and therefore of low magnitude. The sensitivities of the specific recreational facilities located within the Study Area are outlined under the relevant section of the Onshore Scheme.
7.2.10 Construction of the Onshore Scheme will require the temporary closure and / or diversion of PRoW, where effects will be of low magnitude due to their temporary nature and PRoWs will be of local importance and therefore of
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 54 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
low sensitivity. Those of regional importance such as the National Cycle routes and long distance paths will be of medium sensitivity. Table 15 details the PRoW affected by the Onshore Scheme and the nature of the interaction. Sources of effects for each affected PRoW are outlined below in this section and discussed in Table 17.
7.2.11 Users of PRoW, tourism, recreational and community facilities may experience reduced amenity effects resulting from the temporary generation of dust, construction noise and visual effects. These temporary effects, which are considered to be of low magnitude due to their temporary nature, are discussed in more detail with regards to specific receptors in the sections below and in Table 17. Further details of nature and cause of the effects are contained within Chapters 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11) (Section 7, Potential Effects), Chapter 12 Air Quality (Document 6.12) (Section 7, Potential Effects), Chapter 13 Noise and Vibration (Document 6.13) (Section 7, Potential Effects) and Chapter 14 Traffic and Transport (Document 6.14) (Section 7, Potential Effects).
7.2.12 Construction activities could impact upon the water quality of water courses, causing indirect adverse effects to the organisms within the environment from accidental spillages, silt laden run-off and dust. This could therefore affect the fishing activities that are enjoyed in the area. Due to the limited numbers of people able to fish within these resources, they are considered to be of low sensitivity. Assuming a worst case without mitigation, in the event of an incident whereby fishing stocks could be effected and therefore have a negative effect on fisheries, the magnitude of change would be medium. Further details of the potential sources of adverse effects to water courses are outlined in Chapter 6 Water Resources and Flood Risk (Document 6.6) (Section 7, Potential Effects).
7.2.13 Accommodation stock studies (see Table 13) show that there is still capacity in serviced accommodation during the peak summer season and so members of the workforce from outside the area would be able to be catered for. It is not therefore expected that the tourism sector would suffer through competition for accommodation.

7.2.15 Land owned by the Carlton Towers Estate is crossed by the Pipeline Envelope and therefore may experience a temporary loss or severance of shooting habitat or lands used for other recreational activities. This will be a temporary and localised effect of low magnitude. Effects associated with the Multi-junction are discussed in section 7.4.39.
Tourism and Recreation 7.2.16 Tourism and recreational facilities that are located within this section of pipeline are as follows:
x Carlton Towers (low sensitivity due to local importance and limited recreational users); x Carlton Towers Estate (low sensitivity due to local importance and limited visitor numbers); x Barlow Common Nature Reserve (low sensitivity due to local importance); x California Garden Centre (low sensitivity due to local importance); x Howden Minster (medium sensitivity due to regional importance); x Shire Hall (medium sensitivity due to regional importance); x Boothferry Golf Club (low sensitivity due to local importance); and x Eastrington Ponds (low sensitivity due to local importance).
7.2.17 With the exception of the Carlton Towers Estate, none of the identified recreational and tourism receptors within the Study Area in this section of the Pipeline Envelope are directly affected by construction activities. Therefore, potential tourism and recreation effects arising from construction on users of these facilities are likely to be as detailed in sections 7.2.8 to 7.2.12.
7.2.18 Land owned by the Carlton Towers Estate is crossed by the Pipeline Envelope and therefore may experience a temporary loss or severance of shooting habitat or lands used for other recreational activities. This will be a temporary and localised effect of low magnitude.

Tourism and Recreation 7.2.20 Tourism and recreational facilities that are located within this section of pipeline are as follows:
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 56 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
x North Cliff Wood Nature Reserve (low sensitivity due to local importance); x Houghton Moor Shoot (low sensitivity due to local importance); x Mount Pleasant Antiques Centre (low sensitivity due to local importance); x Hudson’s Way Nature Reserve (low sensitivity due to local importance); x Kiplingcotes Racecourse (low sensitivity due to local importance); and x Dalton Estate (low sensitivity due to local importance). 7.2.21 With the exception of the Kiplingcotes Derby and the Hudson’s Way Nature Reserve, none of the identified recreational and tourism receptors within the Study Area in this section of the Pipeline Envelope are directly affected by construction activities. Therefore, potential tourism and recreation effects arising from construction on users of these facilities are likely to be as detailed in sections 7.2.8 to 7.2.12.
7.2.22 The Kiplingcotes Derby route is located within this section of the pipeline. If the construction of the Onshore Scheme were to coincide with the annual race day on the third Thursday of March, there would be a major alteration to the event and would result in an effect of medium magnitude. The racecourse is considered to be of local importance and therefore of low sensitivity.
7.2.23 The Hudson’s Way Nature Reserve, noted for its hawthorn scrub and grassland areas, is crossed by the Pipeline Envelope. Of the 4.8km section of the Hudson Way Trail, a small proportion will be temporarily be affected by construction activities, although a trenchless crossing is proposed to minimise impact. Users will experience limited access to the Nature Reserve during the construction at this location and may experience reduced amenity affects as outlined in section 7.2.10. These effects will be temporary and therefore of low magnitude.

x Wansford Fishery (low sensitivity due to local importance); x Barmston Beach Holiday Park (medium sensitivity due to regional importance); and x Gransmoor Lodge Park (low sensitivity due to local importance). 7.2.29 None of the identified recreational and tourism receptors within the Study Area in this section of the Pipeline Envelope are directly affected by construction activities. Therefore, potential effects arising from construction activities are likely to be as detailed in sections 7.2.8 to 7.2.12.
Barmston Pumping Station to MLWS
Socio-economics 7.2.30 There could be some temporary disruption to commercial onshore sea bass fishing during the partial closure of Barmston Sands. Five permits are issued annually by the North Eastern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 58 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
Authority for fixed-net fishing on the coast between the River Tyne and the River Humber, between mid-October and April. It is envisaged that the beach will temporarily be closed for a period of 6 months for a length of 200 m. During this time permit holders will be still be able to fish from Barmston Sands outside of the 200 m closed stretch or fish at other locations along the coast, as is allowed under the permit. As any disruption will be temporary, effects will be of low magnitude and are not expected to cause a loss of earnings to permit holders.
7.2.31 As the section of beach that will be closed is small and approximately 1 km north of Barmston Beach Holiday Park, it is not expected that visitors to the beach will be deterred in the long term due to the temporary nature of the construction. There will remain a much larger stretch of Barmston Sands still available and accessible for recreational use to the south of the landfall construction.
7.2.32 Tourists to the region are not expected to be deterred from visiting due to the closure of the 200 m stretch of Barmston Sands as there are other public beaches on the same stretch of coast which can be used during the construction phase.
Tourism and Recreation 7.2.33 The temporary closure of the affected landfall section of Barmston Sands will cause disruption to users of the beach and PRoW and permissive routes. There could also be reduced amenity effects to users of the beach resulting from the generation of dust and temporary visual effects. These effects will be of low magnitude due to their temporary nature and are discussed in more detail in Chapters 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11) (Section 7, Potential Effects), Chapter 12 Air Quality (Document 6.12) (Section 7, Potential Effects), and Chapter 14 Traffic and Transport (Document 6.14) (Section 7, Potential Effects).
7.2.34 During the 6 month closure period, 24 hour lighting will be supplied which may have an effect on beach users. As the lighting will be intermittent, low level and shielded it is expected that the temporary lighting will cause effects of low magnitude for beach users. However, the level of use of the beach by recreational users will be reduced at night when lighting is used.
7.2.35 Beach users are likely to experience adverse effects from increased noise levels during construction. Based on the worst case assessment, assuming all the plant is operating for the full assessment period, there is the potential for moderate adverse effects on Beach users at 100 m from the construction works, apart from the pipe laying and tie-in works where minor adverse effects are predicted. These effects are based on a daytime
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 59 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
period, as it has been assumed the beach will only be used by transient users during the daytime hours. The noise assessment has assumed that the sensitivity of the beach users is high, although it should be noted that they are a transient receptor and have a choice to move to another location if they are affected by the construction works.
7.2.36 Worst case predictions for noise levels 1 km away from the construction activities on the landfall section are expected to cause negligible effects on
receptors, where noise levels are predicted to be 48 dB LAeq, below the 55
dB LAeq deemed acceptable during the night. Barmston Beach Holiday Park is approximately 1 km south and therefore likely to experience negligible effects. It is therefore expected that tourists will not be deterred from staying at the Holiday Park due to construction noise. Further details are included in Chapter 13 Noise and Vibration (Document 6.13) (Section 7.2).
Temporary Construction Areas
Socio-economics 7.2.37 The Temporary Construction Areas will create temporary land take and potential severance issues to landowners along the Pipeline Envelope. There will be a temporary loss of productive agricultural land during the construction of the Pipeline, resulting in a temporary adverse effect of low magnitude on the local economy.
7.2.38 Land take and severance of land also has the potential to lead to a reduced need for seasonal labour. Potential loss of seasonal labour is expected to be an effect of low sensitivity and of low magnitude due to the temporary nature of the loss and the highly localised scale resulting in a temporary adverse effect of low magnitude on the local economy. The effects caused by land take and severance of land are discussed in Chapter 8, Land Use and Agriculture (Document 6.8) (Section 7, Potential Effects).
Tourism and Recreation 7.2.39 The creation of Temporary Construction Areas is likely to cause closures of PRoW and adverse amenity effects to users of PRoW. Effects to users of affected PRoW will be of low magnitude, due to their temporary presence during the construction phase. Tables 15 and 17 detail which PRoW along the Pipeline Envelope are likely to be affected by Temporary Construction Areas, and the sensitivity of each.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 60 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
Construction Compounds
Socio-economics 7.2.40 Kellythorpe Trout Lake is located less than a kilometre away from the construction Compound, so could be affected indirectly by accidental spillages, silt-laden run off and dust. These effects are likely to be of low magnitude due to their temporary nature, unless an incident should occur resulting in effects of medium magnitude whereby fish stocks would be harmed and result in a loss of earnings.
Tourism and Recreation 7.2.41 The Construction Compound located near Driffield could cause potential temporary adverse amenity effects to the users of recreational and community facilities in the vicinity and increases in traffic on the local road network. These effects are likely to be of low magnitude due to their temporary nature. The following tourism and recreation facilities could be affected by this Construction Compound:
x Driffield Showground (medium sensitivity due to regional importance); x Driffield Cricket Club (low sensitivity due to local importance); x Driffield Rugby Union Club (low sensitivity due to local importance); and x Driffield Golf Course (low sensitivity due to local importance).
7.2.42 Kellythorpe Trout Lake is also located less than a kilometre away from the construction Compound, so could be affected indirectly by accidental spillages, silt-laden run off and dust. These effects are likely to be of low magnitude due to their temporary nature, unless an incident should occur resulting in effects of medium magnitude, whereby fish stocks would be harmed and prevent the availability of fishing as a recreational activity.
Flexible Drainage Areas
Socio-economics 7.2.43 The Flexible Drainage Areas could create temporary land take and severance issues to landowners along the Pipeline Envelope. There will be a temporary loss of productive agricultural land during the construction of the Pipeline, resulting in a temporary adverse effect of low magnitude on the local economy.
7.2.44 Land take and severance of land also has the potential to lead to a reduced need for seasonal labour. Potential loss of seasonal labour is expected to be an effect of low sensitivity and of low magnitude due to the temporary
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 61 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
nature of the loss and the highly localised scale, resulting in a temporary adverse effect of low magnitude on the local economy.
Tourism and Recreation 7.2.45 Construction works within the Flexible Drainage Areas could cause closures of PRoW and adverse amenity effects to users of PRoW. Table 17 details which PRoW along the Pipeline Envelope are likely to be affected by Flexible Drainage Areas, their sensitivities and the sources of effects. Both adverse amenity effects and PRoW closures will be temporary and therefore of low magnitude and of local importance and therefore of low sensitivity.

7.3.12 The construction of Barmston Pumping Station has the potential to cause closures of PRoW and adverse amenity effects to users of PRoW, permissive routes and Barmston Sands resulting from the generation of dust, construction noise and temporary visual effects. The sources of these effects are discussed in more detail in Chapters 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11), 12 Air Quality (Document 6.12), 13 Noise and Vibration (Document 6.13) and 14 Traffic, Transport and Access Document 6.14). However, the adverse amenity effects, although temporary, will endure for longer than those experienced at other locations along the Onshore Scheme as the construction of the Pumping Station will be undertaken over a two year period. These effects will be of low magnitude and affected PRoW are of local importance and therefore low sensitivity. Barmston Sands is considered to be of medium sensitivity due to its regional importance. The construction of the Pumping Station is not expected to deter beach users from using the beach during the two year period.
Barmston Landfall
Socio-economics 7.3.13 There could be some temporary disruption to commercial onshore sea bass fishing during the partial closure of Barmston Sands. Five permits are issued annually by the North Eastern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority for fixed-net fishing on the coast between the River Tyne and the River Humber, between mid-October and April. It is envisaged that the beach will temporarily be closed for a period of 6 months for a length of 200
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 64 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
m. During this time permit holders will be still be able to fish from Barmston Sands outside of the 200 m closed stretch or fish at other locations along the coast, as is allowed under the permit. As any disruption will be temporary, effects will be of low magnitude and are not expected to cause a loss of earnings to permit holders.
7.3.14 As the section of beach that will be closed is small and approximately a kilometre north of Barmston Beach Holiday Park, it is not expected that visitors to the beach will be deterred in the long term due to the temporary nature of the construction. There will remain a much larger stretch of Barmston Sands still available and accessible for recreational use to the south of the landfall construction.
7.3.15 Tourists are not expected to be deterred from visiting the area due to the closure of the 200m stretch of Barmston Sands as there are other public beaches on the same stretch of coast which can be used during the construction phase.
Tourism and Recreation 7.3.16 The temporary closure of the affected landfall section of Barmston Sands will cause disruption to users of the beach and PRoW and permissive routes. There could also be amenity effects to users of the beach resulting from the generation of dust, construction noise and temporary visual effects. These effects will be of low magnitude due to their temporary nature Sources of these effect are discussed in more detail in Chapters 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11) (Section 7, Potential Effects), Chapter 12 Air Quality (Document 6.12) (Section 7, Potential Effects), Chapter 13 Noise and Vibration (Document 6.13) (Section 7, Potential Effects) and Chapter 14 Traffic and Transport (Document 6.14) (Section 7, Potential Effects).
7.3.17 During the 6 month closure period, 24 hour lighting will be supplied which may have an effect on beach users. As the lighting will be intermittent, low level and shielded it is expected that the lighting will cause effects of low magnitude. The level of use of the beach by recreational users will be reduced at night when lighting is used.
7.3.18 Beach users are likely to experience adverse effects from increased noise levels during construction. Based on the worst case assessment, assuming all the plant is operating for the full assessment period, there is the potential for moderate adverse effects on Beach users at 100 m from the construction works, apart from the pipe laying and tie-in works where minor adverse effects are predicted. These effects are based on a daytime period, as it has been assumed the beach will only be used by transient
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 65 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
users during the daytime hours, as recognised by the beach user survey (Appendix 6.15.1). The noise assessment has been assumed that the sensitivity of the beach users is high, although it should be noted that they are a transient receptor and have a choice to move to another location if they are affected by the construction works.
7.3.19 Worst case predictions for noise levels 1.1 km away from the construction activities on the landfall section are expected to cause negligible effects on
receptors, where noise levels are predicted to be 49 dB LAeq, below the 55
dB LAeq.. Barmston Beach Holiday Park is approximately 1.1 km south and therefore likely to experience negligible effects during the day and minor adverse during the night. There will be negligible effects during the beach excavation and pipe laying and tie in works. It is therefore expected that tourists will not be deterred from staying at the Holiday Park due to construction noise. Further details are included in Chapter 13 Noise and Vibration (Document 6.13) (Section 7.2).
7.4 OPERATION
Pipeline Envelope
All Pipeline sections
Socio-economics 7.4.1 During operation, it is likely that there will be minimal staff required to carry out activities on the Onshore Scheme for the purposes of maintenance. It is not likely therefore, that there will be effects from operational traffic.
7.4.2 Maintenance activities are likely to be carried out by a small number of specialised National Grid employees and is therefore not likely to create significant job opportunities.
7.4.3 All land affected by temporary land take and severance issues caused by construction activities carried out in association with Temporary Construction Areas, Construction Compounds and Flexible Drainage Areas during construction will be reinstated to its former use and it is therefore not likely that there will be any enduring effects during the operational phase to the local economy.
Tourism and Recreation 7.4.4 During operation, minimal journeys will be made for the purposes of maintenance. It is not likely therefore that there will be any disruption to users of tourism and recreational facilities.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 66 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
7.4.5 As part of the Landscape and Visual assessment Zones of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV) have been produced (as per the method in Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11), Section 4 Methods) for the permanent features of the Onshore Scheme and are shown in Appendix 6.11.5 (Document 6.11.5). No recreation and tourism facilities identified within this assessment have been identified as being within the 1.5km zone of visual influence for Tollingham, Dalton and Skerne Block Valve Sites. Parts of the Carlton Towers Estate which surround the Drax PIG Trap and Camblesforth Multi-Junctionmay experience some reduced visual amenity effects. The ZTV for Barmston Pumping Station was assessed for an area of 3 km, within which Barmston Sands falls.
7.4.6 Once construction at each location along the Onshore Scheme is complete all PRoWs and permissive routes that were closed or diverted will be open and fully accessible and will remain so during the operational phase. Therefore there will not be an adverse effect on users of PRoW and recreational activity in the area.
7.4.7 There is potential for reduced visual amenity effects to users of PRoW arising from the permanent structures: the Drax PIG Trap, Camblesforth Multi-Junction Site, Tollingham, Dalton and Skerne Block Valves Sites and Barmston Pumping Station. PRoW from which these permanent features might be visible and cause effects to the visual amenity of users are listed below and in Table 15.
7.4.8 It is unlikely that the presence of the permanent features of the Onshore Scheme will deter use of affected PRoW because those affected are of local importance and part of a larger network. These potential effects and those PRoW affected are outlined below and also discussed in Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Section 7, Potential Effects).

Temporary Construction Areas
7.4.30 Land disturbed for Temporary Construction Areas during construction will be returned to its previous use during operation and should therefore not cause any effects to socio-economic and recreational and tourist receptors.
Construction Compounds
7.4.31 Land disturbed for Construction Compounds during construction will be returned to its previous use during operation and should therefore not cause any effects to socio-economic and recreational and tourist receptors.
Flexible Drainage Areas
7.4.32 Areas used for drainage will be unlikely to cause any effects during the operational phase as infrastructure will remain buried and not visible to receptors. Land disturbed to enable temporary drainage works would be reinstated, and returned to existing land uses following completion of the Pipeline construction.

Drax PIG Trap
7.4.33 Drax PIG Trap has the potential to cause reduced visual amenity effects to users of PRoW in the surrounding area (ZVI assessed up to 1.5km):
x Long Drax FP 35.47/6/1 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity); and x Long Drax FP 35.47/1/1 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity).
7.4.34 Visual effects are discussed further in Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11) (Section 7, Potential Effects). As discussed in Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11), there are a limited number of receptors that have been identified within a Zone of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV) for the PIG Trap. View Points 1 and 2 which were taken from Long Drax FP 35.47/6/1 suggest that due to the existing Drax Power Station users are unlikely to be using the footpath for the express reason of enjoying the view. It is therefore unlikely that the presence of Drax PIG Trap would deter the PRoW from being used during operation and no adverse socio-economic effects are expected.
7.4.35 It is considered highly unlikely that operation of the PIG Trap will result in adverse noise effects, and will not therefore cause any adverse effects to users of PRoW in the surrounding area. Further details on the noise assessment are outlined in Chapter 13 Noise and Vibration (Document 6.13) (Section 7, Potential Effects).
Camblesforth Multi-junction
7.4.36 Camblesforth Multi-Junction has the potential to cause visual amenity effects to users of PRoW in the surrounding area (ZVI assessed up to 1.5km):
x Drax FP 35.26/10/1 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity); x Camblesforth FP 35.17/6/2 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity); and x Drax FP 35.26/11/1 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity). 7.4.37 Visual effects are discussed further in Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11). As discussed in Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11). (Section 7, Potential Effects), there are a limited number of receptors that have been identified within a ZTV for
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 70 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
the Multi-junction. View Points 6 (Drax FP 35.26/10/1), 7 and 8 (Camblesforth FP 35.17/6/2) suggest that users are unlikely to be using the footpath for the express reason of enjoying the view, and therefore users are unlikely to be deterred from the PRoW due to the presence of the Multi- junction. It is not therefore expected that there will be any adverse socio- economic effects.
7.4.38 Effects from operational noise at the Multi-junction site have been scoped out of the noise assessment because it was predicted that noise levels from the operational activities at the Multi-junction would not be high enough to cause adverse effects. Therefore it is not expected that there will be any adverse effects to socio-economic, tourism or recreational receptors.
7.4.39 The Multi-junction will occupy an area of the Carlton Estate of approximately 4.25 ha. This land is currently used during shooting drives. However, it is not expected that the Multi-junction will deter users or shooting drive from going ahead. Of the 4.25 ha required, the majority will remain accessible to members of shooting parties, including beaters, with approximately 0.5 ha of the land being enclosed by a security fence. This area of land is a small percentage of the Estate used for shooting drives, which are typically based over 400 ha. Effects will be of low magnitude as changes arising from the Multi-Junction will be detectable but not material. Carlton Estate is a receptor of local importance and therefore low sensitivity. Additionally the welfare of wounded game in need of retrieval from the secure compound could be adversely affected by the Multi- junction. Mitigation measures to reduce the impact on the shooting drives and the welfare of game are discussed in section 8, Mitigation Measures.
Tollingham Block Valve
7.4.40 There are no PRoW or tourism and recreational facilities in the vicinity of Tollingham Block Valve, and therefore no specific effects are likely to be caused during the operational phase.
7.4.41 Effects from operational noise at the Block Valve site have been scoped out of the noise assessment because it was predicted that noise levels from the operational activities at the Block Valve would not be high enough to cause adverse effects. Therefore it is not expected that there will be any adverse effects to socio-economic, tourism or recreational receptors.
Dalton Block Valve
7.4.42 Dalton Block Valve has the potential to cause visual amenity effects to users of PRoW in the surrounding area (ZVI assessed up to 1.5km):
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 71 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
x Lund FP No.2 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity).
7.4.43 These effects are discussed in more detail in Chapters 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11) (Section 7, Potential Effects). Users may experience adverse visual amenity effects of low magnitude which are highly localised and a minor shift from the baseline condition, but it is not expected that these will deter people from using the PRoW as it is of low sensitivity and part of a wider network of PRoW.
7.4.44 Effects from operational noise at the Block Valve site have been scoped out of the noise assessment because it was predicted that noise levels from the operational activities at the Block Valve would not be high enough to cause adverse effects. Therefore it is not expected that there will be any adverse effects to socio-economic, tourism or recreational receptors.
Skerne Block Valve
7.4.45 Skerne Block Valve has the potential to cause reduced visual amenity effects to users of PRoW in the surrounding area (ZVI assessed up to 1.5km):
x Skerne & Wansford Bridleway No. 7 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity); x Skerne & Wansford Bridleway No. 8 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity); and x Skerne & Wansford Bridleway and FP No. 9 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity).
7.4.46 Visual effects are discussed further in Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11) (Section 7, Potential Effects). As discussed in Chapter 11 Landscape, VP 15 (Skerne & Wansford Bridleway and FP No.9) has been identified as within the ZTV for the Block Valve whereby users are likely to use this path for the purposes of enjoying the view. VPs 17 and 18 (Skerne & Wansford Bridleway and FP No79) have also been identified as within the ZTV. Users may experience adverse visual amenity effects of low magnitude which are highly localised and a minor shift from the baseline condition, but it is not expected that these will deter people from using the PRoW as they are of low sensitivity and part of a wider network of PRoW.
7.4.47 Effects from operational noise at the Block Valve site have been scoped out of the noise assessment because it was predicted that noise levels from the operational activities at the Block Valve would not be high enough to cause adverse effects. Therefore it is not expected that there will be any adverse effects to socio-economic, tourism or recreational receptors.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 72 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
Barmston Pumping Station
7.4.48 Barmston Pumping Station has the potential to cause visual amenity effects to users of PRoW in the surrounding area (ZVI assessed up to 3km):
x Barmston FP No. 1 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity); x Barmston FP No. 2 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity); x Barmston FP No. 3 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity); and x Barmston FP No. 4 (of local importance, therefore of low sensitivity).
7.4.49 Visual effects are discussed further in Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (6.11) (Section 7, Potential Effects). Users may experience adverse visual amenity effects of low magnitude which are highly localised and a minor shift from the baseline condition, but it is not expected that these will deter people from using the PRoW as they are of low sensitivity and part of a wider network of PRoW.
7.4.50 A worst case assessment of the various likely plant to be installed at Barmston Pumping Station has been carried out for the nearest residential property (Rose Cottage) at a distance of 625 m. Worst case noise levels at
this distance have been measured at a maximum of 49.1 dB LAeq. There are two footpaths (Barmston FP No.3 and 4) which run parallel to the Pumping Station at distances of less than 625m. It is therefore expected that the noise level for users of these footpaths will be higher than experienced at the nearest residential property, causing adverse amenity effects. Users of the footpath will be transient receptors and able to move away from the Pumping Station, but are expected to experience effects of medium magnitude. However, these noise levels are without any mitigation or attenuation. These items of plant can be housed in building and enclosures, which will be designed during FEED to achieve the operational noise limits. East Riding of Yorkshire Council has requested that noise from the operational plant at Barmston Pumping Station should not exceed the
existing background noise levels (LA90) at the nearest noise sensitive receptors (NSRs). Accordingly, plant will be chosen, or noise mitigation measures provided, such that the requested criterion is met. Further details of the operational noise effects are outlined in Chapter 13 Noise and Vibration (Document 6.13) (Section 7.11, Potential Effects). The extent of any noise mitigation measures will be determined at the detailed design stage.

7.5 DECOMMISSIONING
7.5.1 It has been assumed that during the decommissioning of the Onshore Scheme, the pipeline would be left in situ and the AGIs will be removed.
Socio-economics 7.5.2 The decommissioning of the Onshore Scheme would result in a beneficial input to the local economy through the provision of direct employment and through expenditure, although on a smaller scale to that experienced during construction.
7.5.3 Traffic levels will be significantly lower than construction, as the Pipeline would be left in the ground, so and is therefore not likely to cause adverse effects to the local road network and cause disruption to local businesses and community facilities.
7.5.4 The AGIs will be dismantled and removed, allowing for the remediation of land. Land will then be able to revert to agricultural use. This will result in a beneficial effect to landowners (of local importance and therefore low sensitivity) where they will regain the use of this land. This will result in an effect of negligible beneficial magnitude.
Tourism and Recreation 7.5.5 There is potential for an adverse effect through increased traffic, although there will be substantially less traffic during decommissioning than construction as the Pipeline is to be left in place.
7.5.6 There will be a beneficial effect of low magnitude on the visual amenity to users of PRoW (of local importance and therefore low sensitivity) where the permanent structures are visible when these are removed during decommissioning.
7.5.7 Decommissioning activities will be managed in accordance with good practice procedures at that time.

8 Mitigation
8.1 INTRODUCTION
8.1.1 This section details potential mitigation measures to help minimise adverse effects during the construction, operational and decommissioning phases of the Onshore Scheme.
8.1.2 The mitigation measures detailed within this section will be secured through the draft DCO as a requirement (Document 3.1, Schedule 3) or within the Code of Construction Practice (CoCP) (Document 7.5).
8.2 CONSTRUCTION
Pipeline Envelope
Socio-economics 8.2.1 A CoCP (Document 7.5) will be required for the construction of the Onshore Scheme; this will include details of best practice methods for reducing dust emissions and construction noise. Implementation of these measures will mitigate as far as is reasonably practicable, any disruption to users of community, tourist and recreational facilities and PRoW caused by construction activities.
8.2.2 Potential direct adverse effects to local businesses located along the main access routes which may lead to intermittent traffic disruption and local people and visitors avoiding travelling to local amenities and community facilities will be managed and mitigated through the Traffic Management Plans, as stated in section 6.2 of the CoCP (Document 7.5). The TMP will include the requirements for the management of construction traffic, prepared in consultation with the highway authorities and the emergency services.
8.2.3 The Pipeline Envelope has been designed to try and mitigate the potential agricultural impacts as far as possible, through minimising the number of agricultural fields and area of land affected by the construction phase and reducing severance where possible. Access across the Pipeline working width will be provided where the severed area of land is still of a size that is viable for agricultural production. Where those parcels of land severed by the Pipeline working width are of such a size to be rendered unworkable in agricultural terms, total crop loss compensation and other financial
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 75 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
remediation can be put in place so that the landowner/occupier suffers no financial loss. This will help to mitigate any losses that may be experienced in the local economy and supply chain as a result of any severance or temporary land take by construction activities.
8.2.4 Reinstatement of lands will be undertaken in order to minimise the long term effects of the Pipeline Envelope on agricultural, landscape, archaeological and cultural heritage and ecological receptors. These reinstatement works will also minimise as far as practicable any adverse amenity effects experienced by users of affected socio-economic and tourism receptors such as PRoW, and reverse any effects on water courses that were created during construction:
x Hedgerows will be reinstated following construction and where there are banks and ditches adjacent to hedgerows these will be reformed to similar profiles as before and topsoil will be replaced;
x All planting will be carried out to National Grid Specification for Landscape Works (NGC/SP/ENV/2) and management procedure for Maintenance Of Landscaped Sites (NGC/MP/ENV/3) and will be subject to a five year maintenance and aftercare agreement as part of the construction contract;
x Reinstate watercourse characteristic native features and recreate habitat lost;
x Reinstate arable land not required for the footprint of the AGIs or for landscape planting to minimise the loss of farmland habitat.
8.2.5 Details of the mitigation measures proposed are outlined in Chapters 8 Land Use and Agriculture (Document 6.9) (Section 8, Mitigation), Chapter 9 Ecology and Nature Conservation (Document 6.9) (Section 8, mitigation), Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11) (Section 8, Mitigation) and in the CoCP (Document 7.5).
8.2.6 A Water Management Plan will be developed by the Contractors during construction detailing the best practice methods that will be used and appropriate buffers which will be applied to minimise impact upon water courses and fisheries and users of these resources. All works affecting watercourses will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the relevant Regulatory Authority (Environment Agency, Internal Drainage Boards or Lead Local Flood Authority). More details on mitigation measures to protect water courses and monitoring are contained within Chapter 6 Water Resources and Flood Risk (Document 6.6) (Section 8, Mitigation) and in the CoCP (Document 7.5).
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 76 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
8.2.7 To mitigate against adverse effects on the shooting drive at the Carlton Estate, careful consideration will be given to the types and layouts of screening used on Camblesforth Multi-junction. Screening will aim to reduce adverse visual impacts but also allow access for beaters to push out any game birds which may seek shelter. Also, shooting practices can be employed that reduce the impact on drives:
x Altering the management and location of affected drives;
x Positioning of guns and direction of shooting;
x Beating methods
Additionally, National Grid will liaise with the Estate on any operational matters to reduce impacts further.
Tourism and Recreation 8.2.8 The CoCP (Document 7.5) details the programming requirements for construction traffic and HGV journeys to specified periods of the day and working week, outside of peak road network periods. Where necessary consideration will be given to limiting use of particular roads to weekdays only. Traffic Management Plans (TMP) will be prepared by the Contractors coordinated with each element of the Onshore Scheme and will be implemented. Implementation of these measures will mitigate disruption to users of community, tourist and recreational facilities and PRoW caused by traffic generated during the construction phase. Further details are contained in Chapter 14 Traffic, Transport and Access (Document 6.14) (Section 8, Mitigation).
8.2.9 The route crosses and affects a number of PRoW (as detailed in Table 16). Where necessary temporary management measures will be put in place to allow their continued use however, in the interest of public safety, the majority of footpaths and bridleways crossed by the Pipeline Envelope will need to be closed for a temporary period during construction this may vary from a few days to six months. Where possible and in consultation with the Local Authority, alternative routes will be identified using existing public rights of way or public highways. Safety warning signage will be used to make construction workers and members of the public aware of the footpath crossing / construction works. The CoCP (Document 7.5) will also outline how pedestrian and cyclist traffic will be safely and effectively managed in the event of closures and/or diversions to permissive routes.
8.2.10 Reinstatement of lands will be undertaken in order to minimise the long term effects of the Pipeline Envelope on tourism and recreational facilties,
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 77 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
including PRoW. Details of the mitigation measures proposed are outlined in Chapters 8 Land Use and Agriculture (Document 6.8) (Section 8, Mitigation), Chapter 9 Ecology and Nature Conservation (Document 6.9) (Section 8, Mitigation), and Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11) (Section 8, Mitigation) and in the CoCP (Document 7.5). Access across the Pipeline working width will be provided where the severed area of land is still of a size that is viable for agricultural production. Where those parcels of land severed by the Pipeline working width are of such a size to be rendered unworkable in agricultural terms, total crop loss compensation and other financial remediation can be put in place so that the landowner/occupier suffers no financial loss.
8.2.11 During construction measures will be implemented to reduce the impact of the works on landscape features, for example the gap in hedgerows will be kept to the minimum appropriate for safe working practices. Dust suppression and noise reduction measures will also be employed as appropriate during construction to mitigate adverse impacts on PRoW users (likely measures that the Contractor may implement are detailed in Sections 7 and 8 of the CoCP (Document 7.5)). Reinstatement and mitigation of the areas affected will be implemented as soon as practicable following construction thus limiting the period during which the amenity value of the PRoW is reduced. Hedge planting will be protected by fencing or tree guards and agricultural land returned to its original use. The surface of the PRoW will be reinstated to allow continued use.
8.2.12 Best practice methods will be used to minimise impact upon water courses and fisheries and users of these resources, and will be in accordance with the relevant Regulatory Authority (Environment Agency, Internal Drainage Boards or Lead Local Flood Authority). These will be detailed in a Water Management Plan developed by the Contractor. Additionally, any necessary licences will be applied for and obtained from the relevant Regulatory Authority. More details on mitigation measures to protect water courses and monitoring are contained within Chapter 6 Water Resources and Flood Risk (Document 6.6) (Section 8, Mitigation) and the CoCP (Document 7.5) (section 9, Water Management).

8.3 OPERATION
Pipeline Envelope
8.3.1 Reinstatement of lands and replanting of any removed plantation will be undertaken in order to minimise the long term effects of the Pipeline Envelope on agricultural, landscape, archaeological and cultural heritage and ecological receptors. Details of the mitigation measures proposed are outlined in Chapters 8 Land Use and Agriculture (Document 6.8) (Section 8, Mitigation), Chapter 9 Ecology and Nature Conservation (Document 6.9) (Section 8, Mitigation), and Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11) (Section 8, Mitigation) and in the CoCP (Document 7.5). Further details of mitigation measures associated with the permanent features of the Onshore Scheme are also included within the Design and
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 82 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
Access Statement accompanying this Environmental Statement (Document 7.3). These reinstatement works and measures will mitigate as far as practicable against any adverse visual amenity effects that may be experienced by socio-economic and tourism and recreational receptors and users of PRoW. All footpaths will be reinstated to their previous condition on completion of the construction. Due to the transient nature of the Pipeline Construction it is not expected that there will be any permanent impacts on the recreational value of the PRoW once mitigation has been undertaken.
8.3.2 Landowners will be compensated for any resultant losses incurred as a direct consequence of the works. Further details are outlined in Chapter 8 Land Use and Agriculture.
8.3.3 Careful plant selection and use of best practice will mitigate against any operational noise that could be experienced by users of PRoW in the vicinity of Drax PIG Trap. Further mitigation measures are discussed in more detail in Chapter 13 Noise and Vibration (Document 6.13) (Section 8, Mitigation).

9 Residual Effects
9.1 INTRODUCTION
9.1.1 The summary table at the end of this chapter (Table 17) presents the assessment of effects for each individual receptor, and this information is not repeated here, to save repetition.
9.2 CONSTRUCTION
Socio-economics 9.2.1 In summary, temporary minor beneficial effects are expected during the construction phase on regional employment and the economy, due to employment of local work force where possible and collective increased expenditure across the region on local businesses. When looking at individual businesses and service providers, magnitude of change and sensitivities of receptors will be low and therefore of Negligible effect (not significant). However, the combined effect of increased expenditure and job creation throughout the Selby and the East Riding of Yorkshire will be of regional importance and therefore of Minor Beneficial effect (not significant).
9.2.2 There is likely to be some residual temporary reduction of local amenity and disruption to the local road network and consequently community facilities and local businesses during the construction phase due to the presence of construction traffic. These receptors (both users of the local road network and of local businesses and community facilities which are of low sensitivity due to their local importance) will experience residual effects of low magnitude providing best practice methods of construction traffic management are implemented through the Traffic Management Plans. This will result in residual effects of Negligible effect (not significant).
9.2.3 Users of the various schools and nurseries (of high sensitivity) surrounding the Onshore Scheme will also experience reduced amenity effects and disruption to the local road network of low magnitude. They will have a Minor Adverse residual effect (not significant).
Tourism and Recreation 9.2.4 Tourism attractions in the Study Area have been assessed and it is likely that the majority of residual effects that are likely to be experienced by
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 88 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
users of these will result from disruption to the local road network. Those which are deemed to be of regional importance and are therefore of medium sensitivity will experience effects of Minor Adverse effect (not significant) and those of local importance and therefore are of low sensitivity will experience effects of Negligible effect (not significant). With the exception of the Carlton Towers Estate, the Hudson Way Nature Reserve and Barmston Sands, the recreational and tourism facilities identified within the Study Area are not directly impacted by the Onshore Scheme. The nature of effects for each tourism receptor and their sensitivities are outlined in Table 15.16.
9.2.5 Footpaths and PRoW will be temporarily closed or diverted during the construction phase, temporarily preventing their availability for recreational use. The residual effects during construction are therefore considered to either be Negligible (local paths of low sensitivity) or Minor Adverse (national routes of medium sensitivity) and therefore not significant. Once construction is complete, all PRoW and permissive routes will be open and fully accessible.
9.2.6 A number of PRoW may be subject to reduced amenity effects from construction activities. Mitigation measures mean that the residual effects during construction are considered to either be Negligible (local paths of low sensitivity) or Minor Adverse (national routes of medium sensitivity) and therefore not significant.
9.3 OPERATION
9.3.1 It is expected that there will be minimal operational maintenance activity, resulting in minimal expenditure and minimal operational traffic. Therefore effects on socio-economics, tourism and recreational receptors will be of Negligible effect during operation and therefore not significant.
9.3.2 There are several footpaths in the vicinity of the permanent structures of the Onshore Scheme where users may experience some reduction of amenity due to noise and visual effects. These are outlined in Table 17.
9.4 DECOMMISSIONING
9.4.1 It has been assumed that during the decommissioning of the Onshore Scheme, the pipeline would be left in situ and the AGIs will be removed.
Socio-economics 9.4.2 The decommissioning of the Onshore Scheme would result in a beneficial input to the local economy (of regional importance and therefore of medium significance) through the provision of direct employment and through
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 89 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
expenditure, although on a smaller scale (of negligible magnitude) to that experienced during construction. Therefore, it is considered that this phase of the works would have a Negligible effect (not significant).
9.4.3 The AGIs will be dismantled and removed, allowing for the remediation of land. Land will then be able to revert to agricultural use. This will result in a beneficial effect to landowners (of local importance and therefore low sensitivity) where they will regain the use of this land. This will result in an effect of negligible beneficial magnitude, and an overall effect of Negligible effect (not significant).
9.4.4 Traffic levels will be significantly lower than those experienced during construction, as the Pipeline would be left in the ground. Therefore, it is considered that this phase of the works would have a Negligible effect (not significant).
Tourism and Recreation 9.4.5 Traffic levels will be significantly lower than those experienced during construction, as the Pipeline would be left in the ground. Therefore, it is considered that this phase of the works would have a Negligible effect (not significant).
9.4.6 There will be a beneficial effect of low magnitude on the visual amenity to users of PRoW (of local importance and therefore low sensitivity) where the permanent structures are visible when these are removed during decommissioning. This will result in a residual effect of Negligible effect (not significant).
9.4.7 Decommissioning activities will be managed in accordance with good practice procedures at that time.
Overarching Scheme
9.4.8 The section describes the effects experienced in the Study Area when the Onshore Scheme is considered as a whole.
Socio-economics 9.4.9 Although individual socio-economic receptors (local businesses and service providers) are deemed to be of low value or sensitivity due to their local importance, the combined effect of increased expenditure throughout the area traversed by the Pipeline will be of regional importance. Therefore it is expected that there will be a temporary Minor Beneficial effect (not significant) to the region resulting indirectly from increased expenditure and job creation during construction.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 90 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
Tourism and Recreation 9.4.10 The majority of tourism and recreation facilities identified within this assessment are of local importance and not directly impacted by the construction of the Overarching Scheme. Those of regional importance will only experience temporary amenity effects during construction with some potential residual visual amenity effects due to Barmston Pumping Station (Barmston Sands and Fraisthorpe Sands). It is not expected that the construction or operation of the Overarching Scheme will deter visitors to the area or have an adverse effect on the region’s tourism.
9.4.11 The majority of PRoW identified within this assessment are of local importance and are not directly impacted by the Pipeline’s construction. Those of regional importance (the National Cycle Routes and long distance paths) will only experience temporary closures and adverse amenity effects during construction.

10 Effects of the Likely Pipeline
10.1.1 The socio-economic, recreation and tourism assessment demonstrates that the identified receptors have the same sensitivity value and effects have the same magnitudes regardless of whether the Pipeline Envelope or Likely Pipeline is assessed.
10.1.2 All tourism receptors with the exception of the Carlton Towers Estate, the Hudson Way Nature Reserve and Barmston Sands are not directly crossed or impacted by the Onshore Scheme. These three receptors that are directly impacted will be whether or not it is the Pipeline Envelope or the Likely Pipeline that is considered.
10.1.3 PRoW crossed by the Pipeline Envelope will also be crossed by the Likely Pipeline. Those PRoW where effects may not be experienced when considering the Likely Pipeline are those affected by Temporary Construction Areas and Flexible Drainage Areas, which may not have the same land take as assessed for the Pipeline Envelope. Those PRoW likely to be affected by these elements are detailed in Tables 15.15 and 15.17.

11 Monitoring
11.1.1 No additional monitoring is proposed.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 93 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
12 Cumulative Effects
12.1.1 Several other projects in the planning system have been identified as having the potential to cause cumulative effects if phased at the same time as the Onshore Scheme:
x The Don Valley Power Project in Stainforth (consented but not yet built), including the CCS Pipeline that would be required to connect to the Multi-junction. x The White Rose CCS Project at Drax. x Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Farm. x Hornsea Offshore Wind farm. x Fraisthorpe Onshore Wind farm. x River Humber Pipeline Project x Thorpe Marsh Gas Pipeline.
Socio-economic 12.1.2 There are potential minor beneficial cumulative effects to the local economy due to increases in employment and expenditure.
12.1.3 It is likely that if the construction phases of these projects coincide with that of the Onshore Scheme, then there may be increased impact from construction traffic, causing heavier traffic flows on local roads, which are also regularly used by residents and tourists. Any potential cumulative effects are outlined in Chapter 14 Traffic, Transport and Access (Document 6.14) (Section 12, Cumulative Effects).
Tourism and Recreation 12.1.4 It is likely that if the construction phases of these projects coincide with that of the Onshore Scheme, then there may be increased impact from construction traffic, causing heavier traffic flows on local roads, which are also regularly used by residents and tourists. Any potential cumulative effects are outlined in Chapter 14 Traffic, Transport and Access (Document 6.14) (Section 12, Cumulative Effects).
12.1.5 Any potential cumulative effects on landscape and visual amenity which may be experienced by recreational and tourism facility users are discussed in Chapter 11 Landscape and Visual Assessment (Document 6.11) (Section 12, Cumulative Effects).
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 94 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
12.1.6 Whilst there is sufficient capacity in the region for workers in serviced accommodation during the peak summer season for the Onshore Scheme, if cumulative schemes require an imported workforce this could begin to create competition and impact adversely on the tourism industry. The tourism industry in the area is of regional importance and therefore of medium sensitivity. Cumulative effects caused by the Onshore Scheme would be temporary and therefore of low magnitude.

13 Difficulties encountered undertaking the assessment
13.1.1 All data available from all standard and reasonably accessible sources has been reviewed. Other sources may exist which have not been identified by our team; however the sources of information used in the assessment set out in this chapter are those typically consulted for such investigations and are considered sufficient to undertake a robust assessment.
The Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline Environmental Statement Volume 6: Ch. 15 Socio-Economics Including Recreation and Tourism 96 Environmental Statement Document 6.15
14 Summary
14.1.1 There will be direct and indirect beneficial effects to the local economy during the construction phase of the Onshore Scheme as a result of increased employment activities and indirect benefits through increased expenditure in the area. The CoCP will ensure there is minimal disruption to community features and local traffic during the construction phase.
14.1.2 Tourism and recreation facilities within a 3km radius of the Onshore Scheme have been identified and assessed. The majority of effects will arise during construction from increased disruption to the local road network and in some cases users of the local road network may experience a temporary reduction in amenity from construction activities. The effects caused by the construction of the Onshore Scheme are unlikely to result in a reduction of visitors to tourism and recreational facilities in the Study Area.
14.1.3 It is likely that affected PRoW will be closed during the construction phase, but will remain fully accessible during the operational phase.
14.1.4 Effects arising from both the construction and operation of the Onshore Scheme will not result in any significant effects on socio-economic, tourism or recreational receptors.
