14 CUMULATIVE EFFECTS 14.1 Introduction

14.1.1 This chapter presents the findings of the Cumulative Effects Assessment. It describes the requirement for the assessment of cumulative effects, the guidance available for completing the assessment in relation to Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIP) and presents the results of the assessment.

14.1.2 Cumulative effects are the result of multiple actions on environmental receptors or resources. There are principally two types of cumulative effect:

. The combined action of a number of different environmental topic specific effects upon a single resource/receptor (Intra-Project Effects); and . The combined action of a number of different projects, in combination with the project being assessed, on a single resource/receptor (Inter-Project Effects).

14.1.3 This chapter should be read in conjunction with Figure 14.1. 14.2 Regulatory and Planning Policy Framework

14.2.1 Schedule 4 of the Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)) Regulations 2009 as amended states that an Environmental Statement (ES) should include:

‘A description of the likely significant effects of the development on the environment, which should cover the direct effects and any indirect, secondary, cumulative, short, medium and long-term permanent and temporary, positive and negative effects of the development, resulting from:

a) The existence of the development;

b) The use of natural resources; or

c) The emission of pollutants, the creation of nuisances and the elimination of waste.

And the description by the applicant of the forecasting methods used to assess the effects on the environment.’

14.2.2 The Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (NPS EN-1) states the following in relation to requirements for the assessment of cumulative effects:

‘When considering cumulative effects, the ES should provide information on how the effects of the applicant’s proposal would combine and interact with the effects of other developments (including projects for which consent has been sought or granted, as well as those already in existence).’

Environmental Statement Volume 6 Environmental Statement Document 6.14

14.3 Methodology

Relevant Guidance

14.3.1 A number of sources provide guidance on how to complete a Cumulative Effects Assessment.

14.3.2 According to the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), Volume 11, Section 2, Part 5 (HA 205/08) ‘Assessment and Management of Environmental Effects’, cumulative effects result from multiple actions on receptors and resources over time and are generally additive or interactive (synergistic) in nature. Cumulative effects can also be considered as impacts resulting from incremental changes caused by other past, present or reasonably foreseeable actions together with the project.’

14.3.3 The European Commission has published the ‘Guidelines for the Assessment of Indirect and Cumulative Impacts as well as Impact Interactions. Prepared for the European Commission, EC DG X1 Environment, Nuclear Safety and Civil Protection’ (Hyder Consulting UK Limited, 1999), which provides information on methods, the assessment process and information needed to assess the impacts.

14.3.4 The Planning Inspectorate (PINS) Advice Note 9 ‘The Rochdale Envelope’ (2011) also provides advice in relation to the assessment of cumulative effects stating:

“The potential cumulative impacts with other major developments will also need to be carefully identified such that the likely significant impacts can be shown to have been identified and assessed against the baseline position (which would include built and operational development). In assessing cumulative impacts, other major development should be identified through consultation with local planning authorities and other relevant authorities on the basis of those that are:

. Under construction; . Permitted application(s), but not yet implemented; . Submitted application(s) not yet determined; . Projects on the Planning Inspectorate’s Programme of Projects; . Identified in the relevant Development Plan (and emerging Development Plans – with appropriate weight being given as they move closer to adoption) recognising that much information on any relevant proposals will be limited; and . Identified in other plans and programmes (as appropriate) which set the framework for future development consents/approvals, where such development is reasonably likely to come forward.

14.3.5 The assessment has drawn on elements of the above guidance and in particular, the EC Guidance (Hyder Consulting UK Limited, 1999) has been used in consideration of the types of impact e.g. spatial, temporal, receptor based approach, the PINS Advice Note 9 has been used to identify the types of The River Humber Gas Pipeline Replacement Project Page 2

Environmental Statement Volume 6 Environmental Statement Document 6.14

developments that should be considered and the DMRB guidance has been used to define significance.

Assessment Approach

14.3.6 The assessment approach for the different types of cumulative effects is outlined below.

Cumulative Effects Resulting from Multiple Environmental Topic Effects on a Receptor – Intra-Project Effects

14.3.7 An example of this type of cumulative effects would be where a local resident is affected by dust, noise and traffic disruption during construction, with the result being a greater nuisance than each individual effect alone.

14.3.8 For cumulative effects assessment, the key is to focus on the receptor and consider its capacity to accommodate the changes that are likely to occur because of the Scheme. Residual effects on specific receptors are presented in Chapters 5 to 13 of this ES (Development Consent Order (DCO) Document Reference 6.5 - 6.13). Using this information, the receptors have been identified that could experience multiple effects and an assessment is made of their likely cumulative significance.

14.3.9 The significance of cumulative effects has been determined using the criteria in Table 14-1 taken from the DMRB.

Table 14-1 Cumulative Effects Assessment - Significance Criteria for Determining Cumulative Effects Significance Effects Severe Effects that the decision-maker must take into account as the receptor/resource is irretrievably compromised. Major Effects that may become a key decision-making issue. Moderate Effects that are unlikely to become issues on whether the project design should be selected, but where future work may be needed to improve on current performance. Minor Effects that are locally significant. Not Significant Effects that are beyond the current forecasting ability or are within the ability of the resource to absorb such change. Cumulative Effects Resulting from Interactions with Other Projects – Inter- Project Effects

14.3.10 Inter-Project Effects occur as a result of a number of developments, which individually might not be significant, but when considered together could create a significant cumulative effect on a shared receptor, and include development separate from and related to the Scheme.

The River Humber Gas Pipeline Replacement Project Page 3

Environmental Statement Volume 6 Environmental Statement Document 6.14

14.3.11 A number of developments have been identified for consideration within the cumulative effects assessment. This list was compiled during the screening and scoping stages of the EIA process and has been updated throughout the preparation of the ES to reflect the latest circumstances. This list of potential cumulative schemes has also been informed by consultation with North Lincolnshire Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Refer to Figure 14.1 for the location of the other developments.

14.3.12 The Inter-Project cumulative effects assessment has been split into two distinct stages, initial screening and a more detailed assessment. The initial screening stage provides a high level screening ‘matrix style’ assessment to determine if any of the identified developments could possibly lead to significant cumulative effects with the Scheme. The purpose of this initial stage was to eliminate those developments from the assessment which very clearly would not generate any cumulative effects in order to focus on those developments where there was potential or uncertainty. For example if the development was located at a far enough distance from the Scheme with no overlap in construction periods the development was screened out for further assessment.

14.3.13 Those developments for which cumulative effects were uncertain, based on location, timing, nature and scale of the development were carried forward for more detailed assessment. The detailed assessment comprised assessing each of the identified developments in relation to the potential effects predicted as a result of the development for each environmental topic. The detailed assessment took into consideration distance from the Scheme, construction timetables, nature and scale of the developments and their resultant environmental effects. For each of the developments identified as potentially having a cumulative effect the assessment presents the likely residual cumulative effects using the significance criteria defined in Table 14-1. It should be noted that in certain circumstances the potential for the cumulative developments, in combination with the River Humber Gas Pipeline Replacement Scheme to lead to significant cumulative effects was identified.

14.3.14 Plate 14-1 provides a summary of the two stage assessment process.

Summary of Consultation on the Cumulative Effects Assessment

14.3.15 The Scoping Report submitted to PINS outlined the methodology for the cumulative effects assessment. Further information was also provided in the Preliminary Environmental Information Report (Hyder, 2014).

14.3.16 A summary of all consultation responses relevant to this assessment along with how comments from stakeholders were addressed in this ES Chapter are outlined in Appendices 4.1 and 4.2 (DCO Document Reference 6.4.1 and 6.4.2).

14.3.17 Table 14-2 provides details of additional consultation undertaken following the receipt of the Scoping Opinion (DCO Document Reference 6.17) and the Section 42 Consultation Responses.

Call determined that the Council is in talks with developers for the Paull LDO, however, there is nothing in place at this current time. Hull LDO is at a similar stage i.e. there are no applications made as yet (i.e. November 2014) for this site either. Confirmed both sites are economically viable and ear marked for the ‘green energy’ - offshore/onshore wind generation industry. The Council also confirmed that the Paull Blade factory will now go ahead at Green Port Hull rather than Paull.

14.4 Assessment of Intra-Project Effects

14.4.1 Intra-project effects have been presented for receptors which could be affected by more than one ES topic. Where only one effect has been identified for a particular receptor or only one topic has identified effects on that receptor there is no potential for an intra-project effect to occur. Intra-project cumulative effects have therefore only been identified where more than one ES Chapter has identified a residual effect on an individual or group of receptors. Table 14-3 presents the findings of the intra-project cumulative effects assessment.

14.5 Assessment of Inter-Project Cumulative Effects

Identification of Other Developments

14.5.1 Details of the other developments that could potentially generate cumulative effects with the Scheme are provided in Table 14-4 and presented on Figure 14.1.

14.5.2 The information presented is based on the information available at the time of submission of this ES about the developments and their delivery timescales. The greatest level of uncertainty is related to delivery timescales as these can be subject to change following publication of an ES and supporting environmental information.

14.5.3 It should be noted where timescales could not be confirmed for other developments we adopted a worst case assumption that construction would run parallel to the Scheme.

14.5.5 The information presented in Tables 14-4 and 14-5 has been used to make a decision about whether developments need to be considered within the cumulative effects assessment. Table 14-7 therefore presents the initial screening of developments listed in Tables 14-4 and 14-5 and determines whether each development has been ‘screened in’ or ‘screened out’ for further assessment. For each of the developments all available environmental information has been used to inform these judgements. Please note that references to the Scheme in the table refer to the River Humber Gas Pipeline Replacement Project and that distances quoted are approximate from the main working areas of the Scheme i.e. the drive pit or the reception pit.

Table 14-8 Cumulative Effects Assessment - Able UK Logistics Park – Detailed Cumulative Assessment Environmental Potential Cumulative Effect Topic Able UK Logistics Park (Drawing Ref: 4 on Figure 14.1) Ecology and Able UK Logistics Park would lead to the loss of a Nature relatively large area of arable habitat along the southern Conservation banks of the Humber. Given that the impacts predicted as a result of the Scheme are temporary during construction, and that the habitats would be reinstated following completion of the pipeline installation, the cumulative / interactive effects arising as a result of the Scheme in conjunction with other developments would only relate to bird disturbance impacts as a result of the construction phase. The potential for cumulative / interactive impacts from the Able Logistics Park would depend largely upon the construction timetables and the amount of overlap between the construction periods – for the purposes of this assessment we have assumed the construction of the Logistics Park would overlap with the construction of the Scheme. However, the Logistics Park planning application includes mitigation areas to off-set the impacts associated with the loss of habitats; as such, in the long term any temporary cumulative impacts that may arise during the construction period are considered to be not significant. Furthermore, the Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) (DCO Document Reference 5.4) for the Scheme has concluded that there would be no cumulative/interactive effects. Landscape and In terms of the landscape there is the potential for the Visual Amenity overlap in construction of the development and the Scheme to result in a change and loss in the rural character of the local landscape. The combination of construction noise and the visual intrusion of construction activities would result in loss of tranquillity and sense of remoteness. There is also the possibility of highly localised lighting effects on the night time landscape. It is anticipated the Scheme’s construction in addition to this development would result in a temporary minor cumulative change on the local landscape character.

Environmental Potential Cumulative Effect Topic Able UK Logistics Park (Drawing Ref: 4 on Figure 14.1) In terms of visual amenity it is anticipated the parallel construction of the development and the Scheme would be visible in some southerly successive views as well as sequential views from Footpath 50 along the sea defence. It is also possible that tall construction elements such as cranes / masts associated with the development could be visible skyline features in a number of southerly views in the vicinity of Chapel Field Road where elements of the scheme would form a foreground element. Therefore cumulative impacts that may arise during the construction period are considered to be minor adverse. However, this would only be during the construction phase of the Scheme, following construction there would be no potential for any interactive / cumulative effects. Therefore it is considered to be not significant. Traffic and Construction for the Able UK Logistics Park is likely to start Transport in summer 2015 therefore as a worst case scenario an overlap in construction has been assumed. However, construction traffic would not use the same route as the Scheme. Construction vehicles accessing the Able UK Logistics Park would use the A160 and A180 and Eastfield Road to the south of the Scheme. Therefore, it is considered that there would be no cumulative / interactive effects on the Scheme. Therefore it is considered to be not significant. Other The effects of the Scheme for all other topics would be Environmental highly localised and limited to the area immediately within Statement the Scheme redline or within approximately 500m of the Chapter Topics Scheme boundary, for example, construction dust effects. All of these potential localised effects would be controlled through the implementation of the Initial CEMP (DCO Document Reference 7.3) and Site Waste Management Plan. Therefore there would be no potential for significant cumulative effects. Construction of the Able UK Logistics Park is anticipated to be overlap with Scheme, therefore, there would be the potential for this to generate positive cumulative effects on the local economy during the construction period, through an increase in spending and job creation. This is considered to be of a minor significance. However, following construction there would be no potential for cumulative / interactive effects.

Table 14-9 Cumulative Effects Assessment - Able Marine Energy Park – Detailed Cumulative Assessment Environmental Potential Cumulative Effect Topic Able Marine Energy Park (Drawing Ref: 1 on Figure 14.1) Ecology and As above the Able Marine Energy Park would lead to the Nature loss of a relatively large area of arable habitat along the Conservation southern banks of the Humber. Again as the impacts predicted as a result of the Scheme are temporary during construction, and habitats would be reinstated following completion, the cumulative / interactive effects arising as a result of the Scheme in conjunction with other developments would only relate to bird disturbance impacts as a result of the construction phase. The potential for cumulative / interactive impacts from the Able Energy Park again depend largely upon the construction timetables. However, research has suggested construction would be 2016 – 2017 - therefore running in parallel with the Scheme. Although it should be noted the DCO for the Energy Park provides mitigation areas to off- set the impacts associated with the loss of habitats; as such, in the long term any temporary cumulative impacts that may arise during the construction period are considered to be not significant. Traffic and The inbound and outbound routes for deliveries of plant Transport and materials to the Cherry Cobb Sands site (on the Paull side) would be via the A1033 through Thorngumbald. The Scheme would use a private track to access the Paull construction site and, therefore, there would be limited interface with this development. Furthermore, with the implementation of a Traffic Management Plan (an Initial Traffic Management Plan has been prepared for the Scheme, DCO Document Reference 7.2.1) for both the Scheme and this development, the limited number of vehicle movements to be generated by the Scheme and the fact that the A1033 is designed to take significant traffic flows, it is considered that cumulative / interactive effects would be not significant. For the Goxhill side, construction traffic would use the A160, the A180, Rosper Road and Humber Road which are located in excess of 6km south of the Scheme. This together with a Traffic Management Plan for the Scheme and this development (an Initial Traffic Management Plan has been prepared for the Scheme, DCO Document Reference 7.2.1) and the limited number of vehicle movements to be generated by the Scheme, it is considered that there would be no cumulative / interactive effects. Therefore it is considered to be not significant.

Owing to the distance of this development from the Scheme on the Goxhill side (i.e. approximately 6,560m to the south), the low construction traffic the Scheme is likely to generate, and that construction traffic would use A180, A160, Rosper Road and Humber Road over 6km south, no interactive / cumulative effects are anticipated.

Table 14-14 Cumulative Effects Assessment - Paull LDO – Detailed Cumulative Assessment Environmental Potential Cumulative Effect Topic Paull LDO (Drawing Ref: 7 on Figure 14.1) Ecology and The Paull LDO Enterprise Zone lies within close proximity Nature of existing areas of development (including Salt End) on Conservation the Paull side therefore the site is already subject to existing levels of background disturbance. Furthermore, the Paull LDO site includes an area of compensation land to off-set potential impacts. In addition, the Scheme would not result in any significant impacts on the other Key Ecological Receptors identified including, water voles and barn owls (refer to Chapter 7: Ecology and Nature Conservation (DCO Document Reference 6.7). Therefore, it is not considered likely that the Paull LDO would lead to significant cumulative effects associated with the Scheme. Furthermore, the same conclusion can be drawn when considering other potential impact pathways such as disturbance and displacement during construction, which would be temporary in nature and would not lead to significant cumulative effects on other ecological receptors. As such, the potential for this development to lead to cumulative / interactive effects in conjunction with the current proposals is considered to be not significant. Traffic and The Paull LDO Enterprise Zone lies to the west of Paull Transport Road. It is assumed that construction vehicles may enter the site from both Paull Road and Salt End Lane, via the A1033. Although there are no confirmed developments or construction dates within the LDO there remains a risk that development / construction may come forward / start over the construction period of the Scheme. As construction vehicles for the Scheme would use Paull Road and the

However, with the implementation of a Traffic Management Plan for the Scheme (an Initial Traffic Management Plan has been prepared for the Scheme, DCO Document Reference 7.2.1) and this development and the limited number of vehicle movements to be generated by the Scheme, it is considered that cumulative / interactive effects would be of a minor significance. Other The effects of the Scheme for all other topics would be Environmental highly localised and limited to the area immediately within Statement the Scheme redline or within approximately 500m of the Chapter Topics Scheme boundary, for example, construction dust effects. All of these potential localised effects would be controlled through the implementation of the Initial CEMP (DCO Document Reference 7.3) and Site Waste Management Plan, therefore there would be no potential for significant cumulative effects. Construction at the Paull LDO is assumed at the same time as the Scheme, therefore, there would be the potential for this to generate positive cumulative effects on the local economy during the construction period, through an increase in spending and job creation. This is considered to be of a minor significance. However, following construction there would be no potential for cumulative / interactive effects. Table 14-15 Cumulative Effects Assessment - Port of Hull LDO – Detailed Cumulative Assessment Environmental Potential Cumulative Effect Topic Port of Hull LDO (Drawing Ref: 8 on Figure 14.1) Ecology and The Hull LDO Enterprise Zone lies within close proximity to Nature existing areas of development (including Salt End) on the Conservation Paull side therefore the site is already subject to existing levels of background disturbance. In addition, the Scheme would not result in any significant impacts on the other Key Ecological Receptors identified including, water voles and barn owls (refer to Chapter 7: Ecology and Nature Conservation (DCO Document Reference 6.7). Therefore, it is not considered likely that the Hull LDO would lead to significant cumulative effects associated with the Scheme. Furthermore, the same conclusion can be drawn when considering other potential impact pathways such as disturbance and displacement during construction, which

Environmental Potential Cumulative Effect Topic Port of Hull LDO (Drawing Ref: 8 on Figure 14.1) would be temporary in nature and would not lead to significant cumulative effects on other ecological receptors. Therefore, cumulative / interactive effects in conjunction with the current proposals are considered to be not significant. Traffic and The Hull LDO Enterprise Zone lies south of the A63 Hedon Transport Road. It is expected that construction vehicles would access the site from the A63. There are no confirmed developments or construction dates within the LDO. Therefore, there is potential for an overlap between this development and the construction period of the Scheme. However, the A63 is a dual carriageway which is designed for high volumes of traffic, particularly HGVs. Therefore, the increase from construction traffic would not have a significant effect on traffic flow. It is considered that there would be no cumulative / interactive effects on the Scheme. Therefore it is considered to be not significant. Other The effects of the Scheme for all other topics would be Environmental highly localised and limited to the area immediately within Statement the Scheme redline or within approximately 500m of the Chapter Topics Scheme boundary, for example, construction dust effects.

Environmental Potential Cumulative Effect Topic East Riding Local Plan (Not yet adopted) Hedon Haven Employment Site (Drawing Ref 12 on Figure 14.1) land. Given that this site is currently just a site allocation (within the currently unadopted Local Plan for East Riding of Yorkshire), it is considered unlikely that any large-scale development would take place at the site within the same timeframe as the construction phase of the Scheme. However, smaller scale development could potentially come forward. In addition, the HRA for the allocation includes the need for areas of mitigation and compensation land to off-set the potential impacts of any development which may take place at the site in the future. In addition, the Scheme would not result in any significant impacts on the other Key Ecological Receptors identified including, water voles and barn owls (refer to Chapter 7: Ecology and Nature Conservation (DCO Document Reference 6.7). Therefore, it is not considered likely that the Hedon Haven Employment Site would lead to significant cumulative effects associated with the Scheme. Furthermore, the same conclusion can be drawn when considering other potential impact pathways such as disturbance and displacement during construction, which would be temporary in nature and would not lead to significant cumulative effects on other ecological receptors. Therefore, the potential for the Hedon Haven Key Employment Site to lead to cumulative / interactive effects, during the construction phase of the Scheme, in conjunction with the current proposals is considered to be low. Therefore it is considered to be not significant. Traffic and The Hedon Haven Key Employment Site is located Transport between the A1033 Main Road, Paull Road and Farbridge Lane. It is assumed that access to the site could be from any of these roads, which are also identified as part of the construction routes for the Scheme. Although there are currently no applications for Hedon Haven, there remains the possibility of planning applications coming forward and construction timescales overlapping with the Scheme. Therefore, there is the potential for cumulative / interactive effects. However, with the implementation of a Traffic Management Plan for the Scheme (an Initial Traffic Management Plan has been prepared for the Scheme, DCO Document Reference 7.2.1) and this development and the limited number of vehicle movements to be generated by the Scheme.

14.6 Difficulties Encountered in Compiling the ES

14.6.1 Difficulties were encountered in assessing the residual cumulative effects of construction traffic for those developments that were at the ‘Pre-application stage’, that were allocations or LDOs as limited information was available to undertake an informed assessment. Therefore, worst case assumptions had to be made. 14.7 Summary

14.7.1 Cumulative effects have been considered in two categories:

. Intra Scheme – effects which occur due to the different aspects of a scheme affecting a single receptor e.g. a residential property; and . Inter Scheme – effects which occur as a result of the scheme combining with another development resulting in an increased effect e.g. noise effects from two schemes combining and increasing overall noise levels. Intra-Scheme

14.7.2 Residential receptors and footpaths users have the potential to experience multiple effects as a result of the construction of the Scheme, e.g. dust, noise and vibration and visual intrusion. All such effects would be temporary and for the duration of the construction phase only and this may only be experienced by The River Humber Gas Pipeline Replacement Project Page 41

certain receptors and a very limited number of them. Furthermore, it is considered unlikely that the combined effect on these receptors would lead to an increase in the overall temporary adverse effect with mitigation.

Inter-Scheme

14.7.3 A number of other developments were identified as having the potential to interact with the Scheme. These were identified through internet searches and consultation.

14.7.4 For most of the identified developments the main potential for cumulative effects relates to construction traffic and also loss of habitat that may be used by birds of the Humber Estuary. However, it is considered that there would be no significant traffic impacts as there is limited potential for the construction routes of the Scheme to overlap with the other developments and all would implement Traffic Management Plans.

14.7.5 While there would be permanent habitat loss for many of the above developments they have all been subject to detailed assessments and where necessary mitigation measures including replacement habitat have been provided. In addition, the EIA findings indicate that there would be no cumulative effects in combination with other developments. This is also re- confirmed in the associated HRA (DCO Document Reference 5.4). 14.8 References
