2. Summary

  1. An ICCI assessment has been undertaken for the offshore Proposed Development and onshore Proposed Development. The potential ICCI are not greater than the likely significant effects assessed in the relevant topic chapters of the Offshore EIA Report and Onshore EIA Report respectively, or have been assessed as not being significant.
