MORL has applied for a Marine Licence for each wind farm site to allow deposition of infrastructure on the seabed. A single Marine Licence application has been submitted to support the offshore aspects of MORL’s Transmission Infrastructure (TI). An application for planning permission for the onshore aspects of the TI will be submitted to the relevant authorities, supported by this ES and such further information as is required to support the planning application. The consent applications will be determined by the Scottish Ministers, acting through Marine Scotland Licensing Operations Team (MS-LOT). Onshore consent will be determined by the Local Planning Authority (LPA) Aberdeenshire Council. This ES comprises the following volumes:  Volume 1 – Non Technical Summary;  Volume 2 – Project Background, Project Details and Description of the Environment;  Volume 3 – Offshore Generating Station Environmental Impact Assessment;  Volume 4 – Transmission Infrastructure Environmental Impact Assessment;  Volume 5 – Whole Project Assessment and Cumulative Impact Assessment;  Volume 6 – Figures;  Volume 7 – Seascape, Landscape and Visual Receptor Figures and Photomontages; and  Volumes 8-11 – Technical Appendices.

Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 2010-12-08T00:00:00 publication Conformity with the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 was either not relevant to this dataset or not a requirement of the Marine Data Exchange for the creation and submission of this dataset; therefore, conformity has not been assessed and cannot be declared False series This assessment of baseline physical processes has been sub-divided into three categories, namely:  Hydrodynamic regime: water levels, currents, waves and stratification;  Sediment regime: seabed sediment distribution, bedload and suspended load transport; and  Morphodynamic regime: form and function of both the coast and offshore, the morphodynamic regime is defined as a response to both the hydrodynamic and sediment regime. The baseline assessment describes the natural variability of these regimes prior to the construction of the three proposed wind farms and transmission export cable. This provides the reference conditions against which to compare the proposed wind farm enabling, and providing the basis to inform the assessment of the significance of any consequential changes to the baseline. The baseline environment is not static and will exhibit some degree of natural change with or without the wind farm in place due to naturally occurring cycles and processes. Therefore, when undertaking impact assessments it becomes relevant to place any potential impacts of the MORL EDA in the context of the envelope of change that might occur naturally over the timescale of the development. For example, it is generally anticipated that climate change will result in global scale effects which will be represented at regional scales by the trends in rising mean sea level and increased storminess (Lowe et al., 2009). This baseline assessment of the physical processes has been developed through the analysis and interpretation of data and information from a variety of sources, including a programme of site surveys, pre-existing datasets, available literature sources and output from numerical modelling.
