Cumulative Effects Assessment on the Middle Humber: Barriers Overcome, Benefits Derived

Abstract: Legislative changes under European Union Directive 97/11/EEC require environmental assessment to have regard to the effects resulting from “cumulation with other projects”. This is a special case of cumulative effects assessment (CEA). Such an assessment has been carried out on the Humber estuary, where the likely effects of several major concurrent developments were examined and assessed in a collaborative exercise by the developers involved, in order to obtain necessary consents from various authorities. Developers, statutory consultees, local authorities and other consenting authorities were questioned to ascertain satisfaction with this CEA process and to gain insight into how easily the approach may be applied elsewhere, as well as the value of such work in identifying desirable mitigation and monitoring. In this example, a number of theoretical barriers to CEA have been avoided or overcome; these are examined and the benefits of the collaborative effort are explored.
