Heritage Conclusion

Following desktop study and marine geophysical survey, a total of eight partially buried
targets with marine archaeological potential have been identified.  It has been identified
that one target within the wind farm footprint may potentially be impacted by array cable
installation, and mitigation measures have been proposed accordingly.  A buffer
separation zone to avoid direct impacts on all targets during construction and operation
has also been proposed as a best practice.

Further marine geophysical investigations adopting seismic surveys shall be conducted
in parallel with the detailed engineering design prior to any site works.  The planning
approach has been a precautionary one of impact avoidance by sensitively locating
turbines and marine cables, and re-locating if necessary.  With this approach, no adverse
impacts on cultural heritage are anticipated.
