The Subsea Cables SAF_01 Area was derived from data provided by KIS-ORCA on the locations of subsea cabling running through the WNMP area, which can be viewed in the Subsea Cables layer. Reflecting the need to allow safe access to installed cables, a buffer of 250m was applied on either side of each cable within the WNMP area to create the SAF_01a safeguarding area. This is a standardised and indicative buffer, reflecting the Crown Estate’s Works Restriction Zone. In practice, however, it will be necessary to ensure sufficient space is allowed for safe access to, and repair of installed cables. This usually equates to a buffer on either side of the cable of three times the water depth. Additionally, ESCA Guidelines state that, if activity is proposed within 1 nautical mile of a cable, dialogue should take place to agree mutually acceptable proximity limits.
