20. The reduction in GVA impact is estimated based on the reduction in impacts on landings, i.e. it is assumed that the 21% reduction in impacts on landings is passed on as a 21% reduction in GVA. This would actually depend on the specific fishing activity but is assumed to give a reasonable estimation of the reduction in negative economic effects. A similar approach has been applied to estimate the reduction in GVA and employment impacts on the commercial fishing sector in the North East and East regions.

21. 'Temporal mitigation' on development was required for a number of DPOs (NE2, NE3, NE4, NE5, NE6 and E3). It was proposed that this would restrict development and would remain in place until such time that sufficient evidence was available regarding likely collision risk and kittiwake distribution to demonstrate that no AEOI would occur.
