We are satisfied with the conclusion of the AA that, provided Site IP262 is amended to include the recommended mitigation principles, it is likely that disturbance increases would be minimised and there would be no adverse effect on the integrity of the SPA/Ramsar site. The mitigation recommendations include design features, requirements for no new quay facilities/dredging, and a construction period that is sensitive to the need to avoid disturbance to the estuary. If the site allocation is not amended thus, developers should be made aware of the great sensitivity of developments and the requirement for project level Appropriate Assessment.
