Survey Other Complete

GridLink’s environmental impact assessment (EIA) and associated detailed environmental studies that were required ahead of permit and consent applications were effectively completed by August 2020. The project’s official public consultation webpage states that in the UK, “January to August 2020 – Environmental Impact Assessment – Preparation of the Environmental Assessment reports for marine works and onshore construction works; detailed environmental studies; definition of measures to avoid, reduce and mitigate environmental impacts,” followed by the submission of planning permission and marine licence applications in October 2020. This indicates that the core environmental study work was concluded by late August 2020 to support those applications.
