_______________________ 88 7 Transboundary Assessment ______________________________________________ 89 4 1 Introduction 1.1 Background This is a record of the Habitats Regulations Assessment (“HRA”) that the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has undertaken under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (“the Habitats Regulations”) and the Conservation of Offshore Marine Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (“the Offshore Habitats Regulations”) in respect of the Development Consent Order (“DCO”) and Deemed Marine Licences (“dMLs”) for Norfolk Vanguard and its associated infrastructure (the “Project”). For the purposes of these Regulations the Secretary of State is the competent authority (under the Habitats Regulations). The planning application (“the Application”) consent for the construction and operation of an offshore wind generating station of up to 1,800 MW installed capacity, situated off the coast of Norfolk. The Project would comprise of up to 158 wind turbine generators, and associated development including onshore and offshore underground and subsea electrical connections to an extension of the existing Necton National Grid substation and a modification to a short stretch of overhead line. The Project constitutes a nationally significant infrastructure project (NSIP) as defined by s.14(1)(a) of the Planning Act 2008 as it is for an offshore generating station of over 100MW. The Project was accepted by the Planning Inspectorate (“PINS”) on 24 July 2018 and a four-member Panel of Inspectors (“the Panel”) was appointed as the Examining Authority (“ExA”) for the application. The Examination of the Project application began on 10 December 2018 and completed on 10 June 2019. The Panel submitted its report of the Examination, including its recommendation (“the ExA’s Report”), to the Secretary of State on 10 September 2019. On 6 December 2019, following the close of Examination, the Secretary of State invited interested parties to provide additional updates or information regarding certain issues including those relating to potential impacts on qualifying features of Natura 2000 sites 1. 1.2 Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (“the Habitats Directive”) and Council Directive 2009/147/EC on the conservation of wild birds (“the Birds Directive”) aim to ensure the long-term conservation of certain species and habitats by protecting

Please contact 01263 516318 to discuss your requirements. Draft HRA Scoping - North Norfolk District Council – Emerging Local Plan Executive Summary Habitats Regulations Assessment is required in accordance with the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010, (amended 2012); in order to ensure that plans and projects do not have a likely significant effect on any European designated sites for nature conservation. Such plans or projects can only proceed if the competent authority is convinced they will not have an “adverse effect on the integrity of a European site”. Where there is uncertainty over the effects then the competent authority will need to demonstrate how these can be avoided and what mitigation can be put in place. A Local Plan is the subject of Habitats Regulations Assessment, which is the responsibility of the plan-making body (in this case North Norfolk District Council) to produce. This scoping report provides the background and review of evidence to support the commencement of screening and the final Habitats Regulations Assessment of the North Norfolk Core Strategy and Site Allocations documents. This report considers: • The European designated sites within and outside the plan area affected. • The characteristics of these sites and their conservation objectives.

This 2nd edition updates the first PAF (edition 2013) to incorporate the latest conservation status assessments, the outcomes of the LIFE funded IPENS project (Improvement Programme for England’s Natura 2000 Sites) and views of stakeholders and partners. Prioritised Actions Frameworks set out the priorities and funding needs for Natura 2000. The actions and cost estimates set out in this England PAF do not commit Government or any other organisation to provide additional funding for Natura 2000, although applications under e.g. LIFE and European Maritime and Fisheries Fund do require match funding. Rather the PAF provides a strategic overview to where resources are best targeted in order to improve the condition of England Natura 2000 sites and where possible deliver multiple environmental benefits. This revision will also improve the targeting of actions to better protect and enhance valuable wildlife sites and species, maximising benefits for the environment, people and the economy as part of the Government’s 25 year Environment Plan.
