Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-1 1 SOCIO-ECONOMIC BASELINE

1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 RSK Environment Limited (RSK) and GoBe Consultants Ltd (GoBe) have been commissioned by Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Limited (TKOWFL) to carry out a socio-economic baseline study in support of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Triton Knoll Electrical System. This baseline study sets out the socio-economic baseline, which includes offshore, coastal, and onshore areas. GoBe has collated the offshore baseline content, and RSK has collated the onshore baseline, with collaboration relating to the coastal area due to the inherent spatial overlap of amenities and activities. 1.1.2 This report forms part of Volume 5 of the EIA and is Annex 3.1 to Volume 3 Chapter 3 ‘Socio-economics Tourism and Recreation’ and should be read in conjunction with that chapter. It should be noted that socio-economic impacts relevant to commercial fisheries are addressed in Volume 2, Chapter 8 ‘Commercial Fisheries’ and those relevant to shipping and navigation, including recreational sailing, are considered in Volume 2, Chapter 9 ‘Shipping and Navigation’. Volume 5, Annex 3.2 should also be read in conjunction with this report, where a baseline study of recreational angling can be found.

1.2 Study area 1.2.1 The offshore socio-economic study area includes the TKOWF array area as well as the linear cable corridor (referred to henceforth as the export cable corridor) beyond the array boundary up to Mean High Water Spring (MHWS) mark. The offshore study area also includes a buffer of 1 km extending from the export cable corridor, as depicted in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 (referred to hereafter as the ‘offshore area’). The activities associated with the construction of the Triton Knoll Electrical System are anticipated to be limited in extent and along a defined linear corridor (see further detail in Volume 2, Chapter 1 ‘Offshore Project Description’ and Volume 3, Chapter 1 ‘Onshore Project Description’), therefore this buffer is considered to represent the maximum area in which the cable installation works may result in potential impacts upon socio-economic receptors. 1.2.2 An onshore socio-economic study area extending 3 km around the Substation and Intermediate Electrical Compound boundaries and 1 km either side of the onshore cable route has been adopted. The onshore study area is shown on Figure 1-3 and extends to the Mean Low Water Spring (MLWS) mark. The onshore baseline study area extends inland up to the Bicker Fen substation (referred to as ‘onshore area’ hereafter).

Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-2 1.2.3 The onshore and offshore study areas both include consideration of the area between MHWS and MLWS and therefore there is a degree of overlap in the baseline environment descriptions. To ensure clarity, where an activity is primarily associated with the environment below MHWS (i.e. bathing waters and recreational fishing activity), it has been detailed within the offshore study area description. 1.2.4 Some wider economic effects resulting from the proposed development may be felt beyond the defined study area, and are therefore acknowledged within the baseline and Volume 5 Chapter 3 where appropriate. For example, in order to facilitate a complete evaluation of offshore activities in the vicinity of the proposed project, the coastline and offshore areas approximately falling between and have been considered for the purposes of the offshore baseline. With respect to the onshore baseline, the economic effects as a result of employment opportunities for the wider county area are also considered.

1.3 Baseline data sources 1.3.1 The most up to date data known to the assessor has been used to collate the baseline. Local and regional documents and background studies, findings from associated consultation, and use of publicly available data has been used to generate a picture of the baseline conditions across the study area. Secondary data sources include, but are not limited to:

• Business Register and Employment Survey; • Census 2011; • Construction Skills Network ; • East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA) (as was); • Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership; • Humber Estuary Local Authorities Group; • Lincolnshire Research Observatory, online facility www.research- lincs.org.uk • Lincolnshire Assembly; • Local authority reporting and statistics collated and presented by and on behalf of Boston Borough Council, South Holland District Council, District Council, and North District Council, as well as Lincoln City Council and Lincolnshire County Council, including; − The adopted East Lindsey Local Plan 1995 (with Alterations 1999); and, − The adopted Boston Borough Local Plan 1999; • Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park; • Lincolnshire Coastal Grazing Marsh;

P80427 (01) 1-4 population density and distribution of amenities such as bathing beaches and marinas/harbours. 1.3.4 Figure 1-4 presents the identified baseline features along the onshore cable route and at the landfall area in detail, at a scale of 1:20,000. 1.3.5 A full reference list of sources used to date is presented in Section 1.6 of this baseline report.

1.4 Study methodology 1.4.1 The following is relevant for context in relation to the baseline environment. 1.4.2 There is currently no established EIA methodology for the assessment of socio-economic impacts in the UK. However, in order to provide robustness to the assessment, the following guidance has been used: “Guidelines and Principles for Social Impact Assessment” (Interorganizational Committee for the Guidelines and Principles and Social Impact Assessment, 2003). 1.4.3 The socio-economic, recreation and tourism impact assessment has been undertaken as a desk based exercise using information held within the public domain, aerial photography and consultation with relevant organisations in order to identify relevant receptors. 1.4.4 No field surveys or supplementary technical review documents have been undertaken. 1.4.5 In accordance with National Policy Statement EN-1 (paragraph 5.12.4) the prevailing social and economic conditions have been collated for administrative council areas within which the study area is situated and the wider context of Great Britain. Baseline conditions are described and reference is made as to how the development’s socio-economic impacts correlate with planning policy. 1.4.6 The baseline socio-economic analysis draws on relevant national datasets providing information on population, labour market and employment baseline conditions. The sources and date the baseline information was published has been stated where relevant. The most up to date information available has been used for the basis of the assessment. 1.4.7 This baseline report describes baseline conditions associated with:

• Demographics and settlement; • Employment and economics; • Education and skills; • Access; and • Amenity, recreation and tourism.

Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-5 1.5 Existing environment 1.5.1 The socio-economic study area falls within the jurisdiction of four different Local Planning Authorities (LPAs): Boston Borough Council (BBC) and East Lindsey District Council (ELDC), District Council (NKDC) and South Holland District Council (SHDC). The socio-economic baseline is presented for each of the four LPAs. A comparison is provided, where datasets allow, with the county (Lincolnshire County Council), the region (East Midlands), and the national area (Great Britain / , depending on the source of data).

Demographics and settlement patterns

Population Overview 1.5.2 The population in each of the relevant administrative areas in Lincolnshire County is presented in Table 1-1. Presentation of population provides context for baseline data. The latest population statistics for the county of Lincolnshire held by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) 2012 indicate a population of 718,800. Between 2002 and 2012 the population of Lincolnshire increased by 9.6 % which is higher than the figure for both the East Midlands (8.2 %) and England (6.7 %).

1.5.3 All of Lincolnshire's Local Authority Districts had an increase in population between 2002 and 2012. Boston has had the highest increase at 14.9 %, and East Lindsey the lowest at 3.4 %. All have exceeded the national average except for East Lindsey.

Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-6 Age Profiles 1.5.4 Table 1-2 demonstrates the proportion of the total population of three age groups at a local, regional and national level in 2002 and 2012. In 2012, the proportion of the population between 0 and 19 years in each local authority affected by the study area is lower than the regional average of 24%. This is consistent between 2002 and 2012 data. In contrast, the proportion of the population aged 65 years and over has seen an increase between 2002 and 2012 in each local authority. This data suggests an increasingly ageing population within BBC, ELDC, NKDC and SHDC since 2002. In the age group 20 to 64 years, at the regional level the proportion has remained at 59% between 2002 and 2012. The proportion of the population in this age group for Boston and South Holland has remained consistent between 2002 and 2012, but in East Lindsey and North Kesteven the proportions have decreased. All local authorities are below the county, regional and national level. 1.5.5 East Lindsey presents the greatest difference from the regional average at all three age groups, and presents the greatest proportional change between 2002 and 2012 of each of the four local authorities in focus. Within the age group 20 to 64 years, although Table 1-2 indicates that the overall proportion has remained the same between 2002 and 2012, the Lincolnshire Research Observatory indicates that the number of people in their 30s in Lincolnshire has fallen in the same time period (LRO, 2014).

Population Projections 1.5.6 Population projections by Lincolnshire Research Observatory indicate that between 2011 and 2021 the population of Lincolnshire will increase by 11 % compared to 9 % nationally with a considerable percentage of this rise being made up of people over 60 years old. In terms of Lincolnshire’s local authority districts, Boston’s population is projected to experience the largest growth followed by South Holland (LRO, 2014).All local authority district areas of Lincolnshire are projected to experience a decrease in the working age population by 2021 (LRO, 2014).

Settlement Patterns 1.5.7 Lincolnshire is a sparsely populated county compared to the UK average (Lincolnshire Assembly, 2008). In particular, East Lindsey which extends over 1,762 km2, is the third largest district in the UK and one of the most sparsely populated with a population density of 78 persons per km2 and with its 136,400-population spread among 200 settlements (ELDC,2012). 1.5.8 Census data 2011 supports this conclusion as it indicates that there were only 0.8 persons/hectare in ELDC administrative area at the time of the census in 2011, which is below the county average (1.2), and well below the regional and national averages (2.9 and 27 persons/hectare respectively) (ONS, 2011d). Population densities of South Holland and North Kesteven are the same as the county average, with Boston being a little higher at 1.8 compared to 1.2 persons/ hectare, but all remain much lower than the regional and national averages like in ELDC. Table 1-3 presents this data. 1.5.9 Lincolnshire is the nation’s biggest arable and horticulture producer (Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership, 2014). The settlement pattern in the Study Area consists of a widely dispersed spread of farmsteads and dwellings. 1.5.10 In terms of land area the cable route passes predominantly through ELDC administrative area. This district does not have a single major urban centre. Instead it has a number of small market towns which provide amenities for Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-8 scattered villages and small hamlets. Louth and Skegness are the two larger examples. Both of these centres are outside of the Study Area; from their centres to the closest point of the Study Area, Louth is 23.24 km from the study area and Skegness is approximately 4.75 km. 1.5.11 Similarly, the main urban centres of the other administrative areas the cable route passes through (Boston Borough, North Kesteven and South Holland) include Boston (5.70 km), (13.51 km) and Spalding (16.72 km)1. All three urban centres are located outside of the Study Area.

Employment and economic activity 1.5.12 Headline summary economic baseline data is presented in Table 1-4a for each of the administrative council areas that are covered by the study area. Key observations are:

• Boston, South Holland and North Kesteven have higher than average proportion of the population who are economically active compared to the regional and national averages, and a lower than average proportion who are unemployed; and • East Lindsey has a much lower than average proportion of the population who are economically active, and a higher proportion who are unemployed.

1 Swineshead is closer than Spalding, (2.74 km from the closest point on the study area) but Spalding is a more significant urban centre than Swineshead in terms of total population. 2 Population density in 2011 for England and Wales was even greater, at 3.7 persons/hectare.

1.5.13 A proportion of the study area for the Triton Knoll Electrical System is agricultural land. Agriculture has traditionally been the most concentrated employment sector in East Lindsey District, according to East Lindsey Economic Baseline 2010 published by ELDC; Lincolnshire is the nation’s largest arable and horticulture producer (Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership, 2014). However, employment in agriculture declined in the period 2003 to 2008, with a loss of employment of 3.14% per year. The decline in agricultural activity is supported by a comparison of Census 2001 and Census 2011, which indicates that the proportion of the populations employed in agriculture (and forestry and fishing) in each of the four authorities has declined between 2001 and 2011 (Boston 7.37% down to 5.4%, South Holland 8.67% down to 6.2%, East Lindsey 6.48% down to 4.5%, and North Kesteven 4.13% down to 2.7%). The ELDC report indicates that the decline was largely related to the continued mechanisation of farming, which had reduced employment but not necessarily output/ Gross Value Added (GVA)3; agriculture is still considered a significant contributor to the economy. In 2012, agriculture contributed 1.18% to the East Midlands’ economy. Recreation and tourism brought just over £1 billion revenue into Lincolnshire in 2012 (Greater Lincolnshire LEP, 2013). Based on Visit England statistics, recreation and tourism revenue has decreased since

3 Gross Value Added is measures the contribution to the economy of each individual producer, industry or sector in the spatial area in focus. Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-11 2008 when visitor expenditure was £1.33 billion (Visit England (2009). In 2012, tourism was thought to employ approximately 39,000 people in Lincolnshire (Greater Lincolnshire LEP, 2013). Census 2011 data presented in Table 1-4a indicates that the proportion of the population in East Lindsey currently employed within the services industry related to tourism, i.e. accommodation and food services, is significantly higher than in Boston, South Holland and North Kesteven. ELDC indicate in the Economic Baseline March 2010 that the coast is dominated by tourism, and strong employment growth has been witnessed over recent years and is worth more than £400m to the local economy. Skegness is the principal tourist destination and is particularly reliant on the tourism sector against comparator seaside areas (ELDC, 2010). 1.5.14 However, there is evidence from the studies reviewed as part of the baseline to suggest that tourism remains an important contributor to the economy within the latter three authorities. 1.5.15 The Greater Lincolnshire LEP Strategic Economic Plan (2014) indicates that Agri-Food, Manufacturing and Visitor Economy each sit mid-table in terms of the proportion of the county’s employment which is provided by each of these sectors respectively (see Table 1-4b). Agri-Food and Manufacturing each provide a relatively similar proportion of the GVA to the four highest employment contributors, Retail and wholesale, Financial & Business Services, Health & Care, and Public Admin, Education & Defence. 1.5.16 Flamborough Head to Gilbratar Point Shoreline Management Plan (Humber Estuary Coastal Authorities Group, 2009) supports this conclusion. It indicates that tourism is a key industry for much of the wider Lincolnshire shoreline, and it is an important contributor to county’s economy. Skegness is a key location for tourists in the region, not least because of its coastal position. However, it sits within the weakest group of local economies in terms of English seaside benchmark towns (The Independent, 2013). In this report, ONS data presented indicates that Skegness is the most deprived seaside destination in the UK. 1.5.17 Within Lincolnshire many people are also employed by the public sector with Health, Education, Local Government and the Armed forces all employing significant numbers. Due to the geography of Lincolnshire it is a prime target for renewable energy providers, it is therefore likely that skilled engineers will be required in the county (LCC, 2013). 1.5.18 It is forecast that the East Midlands will see construction output increase at an average 1 % per year between 2012 and 2016 (Construction Skills Network East Midlands (2012)). This suggests a lower economic growth compared to other UK regions, and a potential surplus of construction workers and available workforce. Employment opportunities presented by the development of the Triton Knoll Electrical System have the potential to make use of local skills and labour market.

Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-12 Daily Commuting 1.5.19 The distance workers travel to work has increased at all areas of focus between 2001 and 2011, as is shown in Table 1-5. The percentage change for workers residing in East Lindsey has increased at a similar rate to the national average shown for England and Wales, at 12.5% compared to 12.0% respectively. The percentage change in North Kesteven is higher than East Lindsey and the national average, at 16.1% but similar to the regional average for East Midlands, at 16.7%. The percentage changes for Boston and South Holland indicate the most significant changes between 2001 and 2011, with 21.6% increase and 21.4% increase respectively, which is much higher than the regional and national averages. Of the four council areas in focus, the latter two are the furthest away in distance from the city of Lincoln. It suggests that workers are travelling greater distances, most likely away from the coast in a north-western direction towards the city.

Skills and education 1.5.20 Headline summary education data is presented in Table 1-6 for each of the administrative council areas which are covered by the study area. Key observations are:

• Levels of qualification attained in Boston are significantly lower than the regional and national averages; Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-13 • Levels of qualification attained for South Holland and East Lindsey are similar to each other. The proportion of the population in both districts that has achieved NVQ4 and above is less than the regional and national averages but still above 20% in each district. The proportion of the population in both districts who have no qualifications is similar to the regional and national averages; and • Level of qualification achieved in North Kesteven is higher than the regional and national averages, and higher than all of the other districts considered.

Access 1.5.21 The Draft 2nd Lincolnshire Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP) sets out Lincolnshire County Council’s future management and development of the Public Rights of Way (PROW) network over a five year period. The first Lincolnshire ROWIP established a strategic framework for the management of the PROW network from 2007 to 2012. Implementation of the second ROWIP is now in progress for 2014-2019. The second ROWIP has been developed around three broad themes; network improvements, improved customer service and social inclusion. 1.5.22 Within the Lincolnshire ROWIP, new, promoted PROWs mentioned which specifically fall within the study area include The Water Rail Way; a 33 mile long distance recreational route linking Lincoln to Boston. The route is suitable for walking, cycling and horse riding and runs for much of its length on a disused railway. 1.5.23 The value of the PROW network and countryside access to the visitor economy was recognised in the first Lincolnshire ROWIP. Lincolnshire County Council continues to work in partnership with a range of organisations (such as Sustrans) to promote walks and rides in green infrastructure project areas. The Walking Festival falls within the Study Area. It is one of the largest walking events in the country

Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-14 with over one hundred walks of varying intensities. It is held between mid May and the start of June on an annual basis (Lincolnshire Wolds Walking Festival, 2013). 1.5.24 There are 19 Public Rights of Way (PROW) within the Order Limits area, 18 of which are public footpaths and 1 is a public bridleway (see Figure 1-3). Within the Order Limits area plus the wider study area there are 199 PROW. This information is based on the definitive maps provided by Lincolnshire County Council in May 2014. Those PROW which are within the Order Limits area only are presented in Table 1-7.

1.5.25 There is a PROW which is crossed by the Proposed Development Boundary and then runs alongside it for a time known as South Forty Foot Drain (see Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-15 Figure 1.4, Map 10 and 11).This footpath is part of a network of access routes within Waterways Link. 1.5.26 A number of designated and promoted routes within the study area have been identified. The routes, including their importance, are as follows:

• The Water Rail Way (Sustrans, 2013) – this is a riverside route covering a total of 33 miles between Lincoln and Boston. The Proposed Development Boundary crosses the Water Rail Way () near to Bridge, at grid coordinates 527783, 347529 and 527890, 347525. It is a marked route of regional importance, and is promoted within the area as a recreational and tourism feature (see Figure 1.4, Map 9 and 10); and • National Cycle Route 1 - the Proposed Development Boundary crosses this National Cycle Route 1 at 527781, 347528 and 527890, 347524. This is a nationally designated and promoted route which links the local area with a national network of cycle ways (see Figure 1.4, Map 9 and 10). 1.5.27 Figure 1-3 presents all considered PROW, at a high level, and indicates that there is a concentration in PROW around the north eastern onshore section of the cable route, towards the coast. Figure 1-4 presents the PROW in detail. 1.5.28 There are a number of coastal access points (primarily car terraces/parking adjacent to pedestrian access to the respective beach) within the study area and along the wider coastline (Lincolnshire County Council, 2013). These access points include:

• Moggs Eye; • Car Terrace; • Marsh Yard; • ; • Wolla Bank; and • Chapel Six Marshes. 1.5.29 There are no areas of Open Access Land within Proposed Development Boundary or indeed within the study area considered for the socio-economic impact assessment. This is as per the definition of Open Access Land and associated mapping data provided by Natural England (Natural England, 2014)4. There are other areas of publicly accessible land within the Proposed Development Boundary and wider study area, e.g. the beach at the landfall, although these are not defined as ‘Open Access Land’. There

4 The data is based on Countryside Rights of Way (CRoW) Act 2000 - S4 Conclusive Open Country. According to Guidance Note for Open Access Digital Data Recipients – Conclusive Map Data, it defines open access land as consisting of “...all land that appears to the Countryside Agency to consist of wholly or predominantly of mountain, moor, heath and down and is not registered common land”. Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-16 are two areas of Registered Common Land at Mill Lane (Lindsey) and Low Lane (Lindsey), which lie within the socio-economic impact assessment study area, but not within the Proposed Development Boundary (see Figure 1.4, Maps 2, 3 and 4). See paragraphs 3.111 and 3.155 for the context regarding predicted temporary impacts on access and recreation and tourism only. 1.5.30 All access features referred to are presented on Figures 1-3 and 1-4.

Amenity, recreation and tourism 1.5.31 Lincolnshire is the 4th most popular coastal resort in the UK (Greater Lincolnshire LEP (2014). There is a large seasonal tourism industry, drawn largely by the coast and marine environment. The number of visitors to Lincolnshire as a whole was estimated at 17.4 million in 2012, which was an increase from 17 million in 2011 (Greater Lincolnshire LEP, 2013). 1.5.32 Lincolnshire Tourism describes the coast as “The Fun Coast' and the “Rural Coast”. “The Fun Coast” includes resorts that offer entertainment based tourism such as Skegness; the birthplace of the famous holiday resort , Chapel St. Leonards, and Mablethorpe. ‘Destination East Midlands’, the tourism strategy for the East Midlands prepared by East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA) (2003) indicates that Skegness and Ingoldmells were within the top five holiday resorts of the UK at the time of its writing. “The Rural Coast” includes areas such as , , Crook Bank and Moggs Eye, promoting more environmentally- based activities such as walking, cycling and bird watching. Although tourism contributes much to the economic revenue of Lincolnshire, the Triton Knoll Electrical System is focused on a limited area. As a result, a review of only the specific recreational amenities present within the study area and activities undertaken within the study area are considered as part of the baseline. 1.5.33 ‘A Handbook for Tourism Development’ (East Midlands Tourism (EMT), 2010) substantiates the fact that the is a significant attraction to tourists. The Handbook indicates that, although in 2010 the tourism contribution to the local economy as a result of the coast, and the potential for the coast attracting tourists was significant, the area was vulnerable due to the requirement for an increased level of quality in the services and amenities, and for a consistent level of quality throughout the coast. EMT, through research by VisitEngland, considers that this would increase occupancy rates and increase the value of tourism to the local economy (EMT, 2010). A project was implemented between 2006 and 2010 called ‘Rosebud’ to raise quality levels on the coast. The efforts to raise quality were in keeping with Destination East Midlands, the East Midlands Tourism Strategy 2003-2010 (EMDA, 2003). The Handbook for Tourism Development (2010) suggests increasing quality in tourism service provision,

Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-17 increasing visitor numbers and increasing economic contribution since the publication of the Tourism Strategy in 2003. 1.5.34 The Strategic Economic Plan, Part 1: Our Plan, prepared by Greater Lincolnshire LEP (2014) provides an overview as to existing investment which is being made to further encourage the tourism sector in the county. The strategy indicates that approximately £20 million is being invested in a range of projects in the county, including the opening of a purpose-built Magna Carta Vault in Lincoln, encouraging visitor numbers at Lincoln Castle and strengthening the county’s role as a major UK centre for short breaks. In addition, Butlins has also recently completed a £13 million investment programme at its Skegness resort. The strategy provides insight as to the priorities for investment and development in terms of the visitor economy, namely:

• “Skegness western relief road, opening up land for investment in visitor economy attractions and reducing a transport bottleneck that affects tourism traffic and potentially deters repeat visitors; • Implementing a multifaceted resort renaissance programme for , unlocking sites for major hotel, conference and leisure developments and integrating public-realm improvements with Environment Agency investment in upgrading the town’s flood defence; • Improving the capacity of the Nottingham to Lincoln rail link and enhancing the East Midlands Trains services, alongside improvements to the frequency of service between Doncaster and Cleethorpes to support the growth of the visitor economy; • Creating a major new visitor centre, based on Lincolnshire’s historical connection with the Royal Air Force and themed around the cold war, at RAF , north of Lincoln; and • Developing a major new heritage and leisure attraction centred on the mixed-use refurbishment of the grade II* listed Ice Factory at the Port of (developed in partnership with Humber LEP).”

1.5.35 The aspirational proposal for Skegness western relief road is the closest proposed project in geographical distance to the onshore cable route and therefore is considered in more detail within the baseline. The Vision for Skegness, which is supported by a report by AECOM entitled ‘Skegness Western Link Road’ (2013) and a transport appraisal by Faber Maunsell (2004), presents further context relating to the potential new distributor road to the west of Skegness, or western relief road. It indicates that the improvement of the local economy has been a key driver in progressing this proposed development. Of particular note for the socio-economic, recreation and tourism baseline for the Triton Knoll Electrical System are the following points:

Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-18 • Tourism and the visitor economy are considered important contributors to the economic prosperity of the area, which would hoped to be enhanced through improved transport links; and • Skegness is a primary tourism destination and will be made more accessible to a wider audience by the proposed route.

1.5.36 The proposed potential route of the Skegness relief road is shown on Figures 1-3 and 1-4. 1.5.37 A search of the key amenities servicing the community and visitors / tourists within the study area is shown on Figures 1-3 and 1-4. 1.5.38 Figure 1-4 maps 1-10 present the recreational and tourism amenities within and around the coastal and onshore study area at a heightened scale to show greater detail.

Offshore study area 1.5.39 The offshore study area is defined in Section 1.2 and illustrated on Figure 1- 1. The offshore study area includes a degree of overlap with the onshore study area, particularly with respect to amenity, recreation and tourism in the coastal environment. Activities that occur in the area between MHWS and MLWS but that are primarily associated with the marine environment (i.e. bathing waters and angling) are considered within this section. Other sections of this report should be referred to for detail pertaining to amenity, recreation and tourism in the coastal environment and baseline detail about the landfall area including facilities, access points and beach activities (the landfall is described at paragraphs 1.5.64 onwards). In addition, employment and economic activity relating to coastal tourism and recreation is detailed in paragraphs 1.5.47 onwards. 1.5.40 As with the majority of coastal and marine areas of the UK, various recreational activities take place in the offshore study area. The area is used for both power and sail boat cruising, including coastal day sailing and longer passage trips, as well as yacht and dinghy racing in nearshore waters. Recreational vessel numbers are lowest in the offshore areas of the Triton Knoll Electrical System and TKOWF array. Recreational sailing is detailed within Volume 1, Chapter 13 ‘Shipping and Navigation’ and is therefore not considered further in this report. 1.5.41 The recreational and tourism receptors relevant to the coastal, inshore and offshore marine environments include:

• Coastal tourism and recreational activities • Blue flag beaches and designated bathing waters • Diving and watersports e.g. kayaking, windsurfing, kite-surfing; • Recreational fishing activity;

Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-19 The array 1.5.42 The features of interest in terms of socio-economics of the TKOWF array itself were considered in the TKOWF ES (Volume 2, Chapter 14). The TKOWF ES included consideration of employment infrastructure, population and labour market, education and training, housing and social infrastructure and recreation and tourism of relevance to the main offshore components of the TKOWF. The TKOWF ES also provided a cumulative assessment of the effects from the offshore export cable route, and the onshore components from landfall to the grid connection 1.5.43 As detailed in the TKOWF ES water based tourism and recreation is primarily concentrated in the inshore and coastal areas, although there are a small number of activities which could take place in the areas further offshore (beyond 12nm), including the TKOWF array and offshore sections of the Triton Knoll Electrical System. However, as a result of the distance from shore, the level of activity is significantly lower than in then inshore and coastal areas and water based tourism and recreation activities are not common place within the TKOWF array. 1.5.44 The TKOWF ES concluded that there would be no potential effects from the development of the TKOWF, when considered either in isolation or in a cumulative context that can be considered to have an effect of greater than minor significance, adverse or beneficial, on the socio-economic conditions at the site or in the wider region. 1.5.45 Whilst socio-economics within the TKOWF array area have previously been documented, the features within the corridor have not, until now, received such detailed analysis. The following sections therefore focus on the marine activities associated with the Triton Knoll Electrical System within the inshore and coastal marine environments.

Inshore and coastal areas Coastal tourism and recreation 1.5.46 In addition to the presence of coastal resorts along the coastline adjacent to the Triton Knoll Electrical System, the natural coastline comprises a rich variety of habitats and provides a range of visitor attractions including the National Nature Reserves at Gibraltar Point, Saltfleetby and and other nature reserves at Chapel Pit, Huttoft Pit and Sandilands Pit, for example (see further detail in Volume 3, Chapter 4 ‘Terrestrial Ecology’). As detailed in the TKOWF ES, the wide, sandy beaches outside the main resorts are also popular with tourists for swimming, walking and sea/beach fishing. 1.5.47 Coastal tourism is clearly important to the local economy, especially in the summer months. With respect to beach use, Blue Flag is a prestigious international award scheme for sites which have achieved the highest standard in terms of water quality, facilities, safety, environmental education Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-20 and management. As such, the Blue Flag award is an internationally recognised designation which will attract tourists to beaches in the area. Blue flag beaches are designated at the following locations within the immediate and wider study area (Blue Flag, 2014) (see Figure 1-2):

• Central Beach Mablethorpe; • Central Beach, Skegness; and • Central Beach, Sutton on Sea.

1.5.48 Also of relevance to beach based activities is the designation of bathing waters under the Bathing Waters Directive (76/160/EEC) which was put in place by the EU in order to safeguard public health and promote clean bathing waters. It requires Members States to monitor and assess the bathing water for at least two parameters of (faecal) bacteria. Throughout the summer the Environment Agency collects scientific data on the cleanliness of bathing waters (mostly at beaches). The landfall is located between the beaches of Moggs Eye and Anderby, both of which are designated bathing waters and both of which meet the highest standards set by the Bathing Waters Directive. Similarly to Blue Flag Beaches, locations that are designated as clean bathing waters are also likely to attract tourists to the beaches in that area. The locations of designated bathing waters are illustrated in Figure 1-2. 1.5.49 Recreational boat trips to view wildlife are available for tourists along the Lincolnshire coastline, however it is understood that these primarily operate from areas outwith the study area (although it is conceivable that some wildlife boats may pass through the offshore study area). Popular locations for wildlife boat trips include Flamborough Head, Blakeney Point and Scolt Head Island (all located over 50km from the landfall). Recreational fishing activity 1.5.50 In order to inform the socio-economic baseline report Precision Marine Survey Limited (PMSL) have undertaken a review of recreational angling relevant to the Triton Knoll Electrical System. The Recreational Fisheries Technical Report is provided as an annex to Volume 3 Chapter 3, and a high level summary of the findings are presented here. It should be noted that the Recreational Fisheries Technical Report considers a study area far wider than that which has been defined for the socio-economic baseline as it is based upon the commercial fisheries study area (see further detail in Volume 2 Chapter 8 ‘Commercial Fisheries’). This section of the baseline report considers only recreational fishing activity that is potentially relevant to the socio-economic study area. Activities occurring outwith this area along the wider Lincolnshire coast are considered to be beyond any effects arising from the proposed project. 1.5.51 Recreational sea angling using a rod and line can be separated into two distinct forms, shore fishing and boat fishing, with levels of activity dependent on the seasonality and availability of target species. Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-21 1.5.52 Recreational shore angling occurs predominantly around -on-Sea and south towards , with important shore angling locations identified at Mablethorpe, Bohemia Point at Sutton-on-Sea, Moggs Eye at Huttoft Beach, Anderby Creek, Chapel Point and Chapel St Leonards. Recreational shore angling in these areas occurs throughout the year and whilst the activity is most popular at weekends, anglers will also fish during the week if the tides are favourable. 1.5.53 During the winter months anglers target a range of species including cod Gadus morhua and whiting Merlangius merlangus, whilst species such as bass Dicentrarchus labrax, rays Raja spp., flatfish and smoothhound (Mustelus asterias and Mustelus mustelus) are importance target species during the summer months. 1.5.54 Bass and smoothound (of which there are two species; the common smoothhound M. mustelus and the starry smoothhound M. asterias) are of particular importance with respect to recreational angling within the Study Area and immediate surrounds. The Lincolnshire Coast has become a hotspot for anglers targeting smoothhound during the months of May to late August as the species move inshore to target their prey of crabs. Large abundances have been observed moving along the coastline in areas such as Sutton-on-Sea and Chapel St Leonards. The distribution of the congregating smoothhound can change rapidly along this section of coastline as it is dependent on prey availability and how quickly the prey resource is exhausted. Sea bass are also considered to be an important target species due to their abundance along this area of coastline during the months of March to September. 1.5.55 Recreational sea angling also occurs from boats, both privately owned and charter vessels and it is understood that the number of participants engaged in shore angling has decreased whilst the frequency of boat angling participation has increased. 1.5.56 Boat based sea angling activity in the study area is predominantly from privately owned vessels and although there are potentially up to 100 privately owned vessels based along the wider Lincolnshire and Norfolk coastlines, it is understood that the nearest important vessel base to the study area is at Skegness. With respect to charter vessels, there are none based at Anderby Creek or Skegness, although there are still a few operating within the waters off the Lincolnshire Coast. 1.5.57 The key species of interest for boat anglers are bass, cod, skates and rays, smoothhounds and tope Galeorhinus galeus, with those anglers targeting bass generally fishing along the stretch of coast from Sutton-on-Sea south towards Areas of importance with respect to boat based angling are located to the north and west of inshore portions of the export cable corridor (see Figure 1-2). Stakeholders have also indicated that a patch of rough ground located to the south of the study area (approximately half a mile from the

Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-22 shore at Anderby Creek) is of particular importance for the local recreational fleet (Figure 1-2). Within this specific area anglers target a number of species such as cod (November to April), skates and rays (March to June), smoothhound, tope (May to August) and bass (March to September). 1.5.58 It is also important to consider local angling clubs and competitive angling competitions which are both a significant social element of the angling experience for recreational anglers in the UK. Although there are a number of sea angling clubs along the Lincolnshire coast there are none within the Study Area with the nearest being the Skegness Pier Angling Club (SPAC). SPAC holds shore angling matches throughout the year at various locations along the coast, potentially including the study area. 1.5.59 Also of relevance to recreational angling is bait collection, with recreational sea anglers frequently gathering a range of fresh baits for their personal use. This activity occurs at various venues including Chapel St Leonards as well as other locations further north towards, and potentially including, the study area. Diving and watersports 1.5.60 Diving is known to take place within the wider study area, along with other watersports including wind and kite surfing. 1.5.61 When suitable meteorological conditions prevail, the coasts of Lincolnshire are frequented by board, kite, and wind surfers. Conditions are commonly more favourable for these activities during the winter months due to stronger storm surges and winds. Known locations include Skegness and Sutton-on- Sea (RYA & CA, 2004) with these activities generally occuring within 1 km from the coast. The beaches between Skegness and Mablethorpe are particularly popular for coastal water sports including powerkiting and kitesurfing (see Figure 1-2 for locations of beaches within the offshore study area). 1.5.62 Diving is relatively popular in this part of the UK coast due to high numbers of shipwrecks that are at an attractive and accessible diving depth (British Sub Aqua Club, 2014). There are a number of dive clubs in Lincolnshire with the diving season occurring between April and October when water temperatures are more favourable. The winter months are not excluded however, as divers will also go out throughout the year if the visibility is good. Whilst recreational diving often uses beach access to the comparatively safe nearshore environment, diving excursions are known to use boats to access offshore wreck sites. The archaeological assessment presented in Volume 2 Chapter 11 ‘Marine and Coastal Archaeology’ suggests that there are unlikely to be any wreck sites that are popular for diving within the study area, however there are a number of wrecks in shallow waters (less than 25m) which could potentially be utilised by divers to the south of the cable route (see Figure 1-2). Wrecks relevant to the Triton

Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-23 Knoll Electrical System are discussed in more detail in Volume 2, Chapter 11.

Landfall area 1.5.63 A list of the key amenities of the landfall area and its immediate environs include (see Figure 1-4) (see paragraphs 1.5.40 to 1.5.63 Offshore Study Area for details regarding amenities primarily associated with the environment below MHWS including designated bathing waters):

• Approximately 4 caravan parks, including 1 chalet park (Ravenna Chalets); • The Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park (LCCP) - provides facilities for visitors and enhanced nature reserves and wildlife areas. The park is defined as the 8 km stretch of coast between Sandilands in the north and Chapel St. Leonards in the south. The first of three visitor surveys (2013, 2015 and 2017) has been undertaken and key results have been used to inform the baseline and assessment (LCC, 2013c, and Mouchel, 2012); • Lincolnshire Coastal Grazing Marsh project (LCGM) (aspirational designation) – aims to conserve and regenerate the grazing marshes within Lincolnshire, and enhance access and recreational opportunities. The Landfall area passes through the Huttoft and Anderby/ Huttoft Target areas (The Wildlife Trusts, 2013) within which some areas of grazing marsh have been created and it is hoped that more will be created in the future; and 1.5.64 The beach within the study area consists of soft sand. The beach is popular with dog walkers and beach fishermen, and is popular with tourists in the holiday season. 1.5.65 The recreational and tourism activities that have potential to be undertaken at the landfall area within the study area are likely to include:

• Visits lasting one or more days; • Bird watching (e.g. Round and Round House bird hide); • Seaside tourism; and • Beach users, including walking and dog walking.

1.5.66 Lincolnshire County Council has undertaken the first of three rounds of visitor surveys5 to monitor the car park usage and visitor behaviour as the LCCP develops (LCC, 2013c). This was initiated by Lincolnshire County Council in response to a baseline survey undertaken in 2012 as part of Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park (LCCP) Sustainable Transport Study

5 The term visitor referred to anybody passing through each site and not to their status as someone who does not live within the area. Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-24 (Mouchel, 2012). The first round of these three surveys was undertaken in July and August 2013, and the results are available for inclusion in this baseline. Subsequent surveys are proposed to take place in 2015 and 2017, and are therefore not available at this time. 1.5.67 Surveys were undertaken at all five coastal car parks within the LCCP. These include, Anderby Creek, Marsh Yard, Wolla Bank, Chapel Six Marshes and Huttoft Car Terrace. Key results are presented below. These are all shown on Map 1, Figure 1-4. 1.5.68 A range of activities were given as optional answers including walk or dog walk on the beach, walk or dog walk on inland footpaths, walk or dog walk on the beach and inland footpaths, or other recreational activity. The majority of visitors came to walk dogs, although the proportion of visitors walking their dogs at the 2013 survey was less than that recorded at the 2012 baseline survey. The proportion of people who came to partake in other recreational activities increased in 2013 compared to 2012, although the 2013 report (LCC, 2013c) acknowledges that this is likely to be the result of a different time of year and there being a higher level of families visiting the LCCP at the time of the 2013 survey. The range of other activities recorded as being undertaken was as follows:

• Playing / relaxing on the beach; • Cycling; • Running; • Just enjoying the area; • Caravanning; • Fishing; • Sea watching; • Bird watching; • Picking up daily papers; • Bungalow maintenance; • Visiting family; • Nordic walking; • Swimming; and • Dragonfly survey.

1.5.69 Of the visitors interviewed, there was an increase in the number of new visitors to the LCCP, with 16% recorded as being new in 2013 survey compared to 8% in 2012. Furthermore, there was an increase in the number of people who could be classed as repeat holiday visitors (i.e. not local), with 36% in 2013 compared to 21% in 2012. 1.5.70 The car park at Anderby Creek was recorded as having the second highest number of cars using it during the 8-hour survey period in 2013; Huttoft Terrace had the highest. The total number of spaces available at each car park and the percentage full at intervals throughout the survey period is not

Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Ltd Triton Knoll Electrical System Socio-Economic Baseline Study Report no. P80427 (01) 1-25 indicated. However, the 2013 report (LCC, 2013c) does indicate that the Anderby Creek car park is a very popular parking spot.

Onshore Cable Route (outside of Landfall), Intermediate Electrical Compound, and Substation 1.5.71 A list of key recreation and tourism amenities within the onshore study area including the Onshore Cable Route, the Intermediate Electrical Compound and the Substation (but not including the landfall), includes:

• Approximately 10 caravan parks; • 2 golf courses6 (namely, Golf Club and South View); • Skegness Stadium; • Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park (LCCP); • National Trust property (Gunby Hall Estate - the hall itself is outside the study area); and • Lincolnshire Coastal Grazing Marsh (LCGM) project (aspirational designation) – Burgh-le-Marsh target area. 1.5.72 The recreational and tourism activities that are likely to be undertaken in the onshore study area are likely to include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Visits lasting one or more days; • Walking; • Cycling; • Fishing; • Horse riding; • Golfing; • Picnicking; and • Boat cruising (domestic recreation, and commercial, in particular, Boston Belle, Boston Maritime Cruises, which sales along the River Witham from Grand Sluice Lock to Tattershall Bridge. The order limits study area crosses the River Witham at (Maritime Leisure Cruises, 2014)). 1.5.73 A review of Ordnance Survey (OS) base mapping has shown the following formal tourist attractions outside of the study area but within the wider county:

• Ingoldmells Holiday Village; • Ingoldmells Animal Farm; • The Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway; • Water Leisure Park;

1.5.74 The Fens Waterway Project has been ongoing since approximately 2004 (Fens Waterways Link, 2013). It involves the development of the inland navigation network in the Fens which includes opening up of 240 km of waterway (creating 80 km of new waterway and increasing access to 160 km of waterway). European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Environment Agency and Lincolnshire Council are key promoters. There are various individual projects which, together, make up the wider Fens Waterway Project. The south western section of the study area passes through the north western section of an area that appears to form part the Fens Waterway Project (Fens Waterway Link, 2013). 1.5.75 Specific recreational activity close to the south-western end of the study area where the Substation is situated includes a section of the South Forty Foot Drain. This forms part of the Black Sluice Navigation, which was re-opened in 2009. It is understood that this is a recent success of the Fens Waterway Project. It is also understood that there are no permanent moorings on this navigation - the nearest temporary mooring (48 hours maximum) is at Swineshead Bridge which is within approximately 200m of the Substation boundary. Visitor licences must be obtained from the Environment Agency in order to use the navigation.
