The project, managed by a steering group, determined that the guidance should be based on scientific principles, recommend methodologies robust enough to meet statutory requirements and be practicable for developers within the time frames and resources normally available for environmental impact assessment.

A comprehensive ‘long list’ of species to undergo CIA should be compiled at the scoping stage 7. The ‘long-list’ should be screened using expert judgment and a range of resources eg Appendix 7: List of species potentially at risk of cumulative impacts in Round 3 8. A list of all local SPA (Ramsar and SSSI) species together with predicted impacts, including cumulative, should be included in the ES. Reasons should be given for any species screened out of CIA 9. Quantitative data on number and density for all species at a project site should be included in the ES to enable quantitative CIA to be undertaken retrospectively if necessary 10. To provide the context of CIA, where quantitative information is available, the baseline conditions relevant to study features (eg relevant populations) should be appraised to assess the significance of the effect (positive or negative) that existing (including unregulated) activities or environmental trends (including climate change) might have upon those conditions during the lifetime of the project 11.CIA should include those: a. Projects that have been consented but which are yet to be constructed b. Projects for which application has been made c. Projects that are reasonably foreseeable d. Relevant non-wind farm projects subject to EIA e. Existing projects which have yet
